Yeah. I think that's more confusion than it's worth, using it for #3. It's not like we've been terribly meaningful with all the numbers (Angel 8 His Father, Mother, Sister, and Entire Village, anyone?).

Eight = "Ate"! It's a very dumb joke, but it's meaningful.

I mean the number eight was in no way meaningful in the sentence. Much like twice is there to trigger two, but not to actually refer to the twiceness of Buffy's death, thereby implying three Buffys which is a whole lot of meaning right there.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Huh, my e-mail program decided that my "WELCOME to somervillains@buffistas.org" e-mail message was possible spam. Heads up to anyone else who signs up to the list.

Pocomail 2.6. Not a mainstream program by any means, but most everything else that gets put into the spam box is spam.

I think having an e-mail address in the title may be part of why it thinks it is spam. Also the all caps "WELCOME".

Actually, in poking around the junk mail filter, the list of words that it uses as indicators of spam includes the phrase "TO UNSUBSCRIBE", which appears at least a couple of times in the welcome message. That may be what put it over the top.

Kat, I'm going to wait on some answers back from tech support, and then I'll fire it off.
