Life becomes especially difficult when Thorfinn of Orkney and his sister take hand in the game.

A Warning Note to Authors

I am again having e-mail problems. Someone has been sending spam from both my e-mail addresses: arline@mail.com and arlinechase@comcast.net.  I know this is definitely true, because I am getting a large amountd of "failed delivery" returned mail for mail that I have NOT sent out.


It is SO EASY to just mark something Spam, and (with some programs ) that will automatically add the return address to your "no mail" list  without noticing what the return address actually says. I have been guilty of this myself. So please, if you haven't heard back from me in awhile, take a moment to check you "no spam from" list of addresses.


I have repeated questions in my mail  today from both Bobbi Sinha and Virginia Winters, that I have already answered twice and they apparently are not getting what I send.  Anna Dynowski, Geoff Geauterre, and Michael Field have been also had problems recently.

I am checking every site every day and sending from all of the, but the problem seems to be that people are NOT receiving messages that I SEND.
