Rants & Whines Pet Peeves

Pet peeves on the loose...

AOL members who are too selfish or stupid to unsubscribe from mailing lists and instead block the list address so that AOL shouts at me, "XXXX IS NOT ACCEPTING MAIL FROM THIS SENDER". Makes me want to ban all AOL users from EVER emailing me or joining my lists or accessing my websites. I don't care if you don't want mail from me, you don't have to get it, you can unsub, you can delete, but AOL's absolutely asinine insistence on shouting out rudely that you're blocking me is just stupid. If I don't want mail from a list, I either unsub or filter it to trash, why does AOL have to persist in being so nasty? Every other personal filter in every other mail program just deletes. And believe me, spammers do NOT read those AOL notices so it doesn't help a damn bit there, it just annoys the hell out of the rest of us who were sending perfectly legitimate mail.

Me forgetting to put a single backslash in front of the @ sign in the style sheet import, thereby rendering all my lovely formatting totally unavailable and so I spent a hair-ripping-out hour trying to figure out why it wouldn't work.

Otoh, Rainmaker was on tonight and since I've gotten over my loathing of Matt Damon and gotten somewhat obsessed, that's been good. :)

And little miss AOLer who couldn't be bothered to unsub? You'll have to find some other address to email me if you ever have a question about my websites or want to join my lists because I stuck you in my spam filter.
