So far my offer of GMail address has been a success. Ben, Jeremy, Diana, Hilliard and Kris have taken the bait. I still have (umm... one, two, more, many, lots) lots of them available (by virtue of two main addresses and a sock-puppet address). Requests are still being taken at <r.crowe@iglou.com>, but this time it'd make it a bit easier for me to process the requests if the email address that you want the invitation sent to was contained in the body of the message. Also the GMail invitation form requires both a first (given) and last (surname). I don't really care what data you provide for those two pieces of information (like anybody that has received an invitation from Sleepy Dwarf <sleepy.dwarf@gmail.com> really believes that my name is Sleepy Dwarf) but please put something about that in the body of the email. Once again, I am a "Digest Subscriber", so don't respond to the list use <r.crowe@iglou.com> for any new or missed requests. I think that I have cleared any backlog on my <r.crowe@iglou.com> address and have tried to send confirmation emails to those that requested an invitation. I'd like to add a caveat. Sometimes the GMail invitations get caught by spam filters, so if you've requested an invitation and it hasn't shown up by 2004/10/02 feel free to request another one from me at my secondary address <r.crowe@iglou.com>. I'll try to get to them as soon as I can, but expect from two days to a week turn-around time. I'd also like to single out Diana (WindChime) who, ever so kindly, offered to send me a few piri-piri chiles. I'll gladly accept chiles, chile seeds (hotter than average Anaheims, pequins and Savinas are preferred), single-malt whisky (hey, I'm just grasping at straws here).
