Public apology Tuesday, January 20, 2022 When I first asked for asylum here at the Zaibatsu I promptly set an email alias up, then redacted a contact details file at my gopher space [1]. All the usual stuff with new gophers, I guess. So here I am, 3 and a half years later, wondering how I never got a single message at this address. Certainly, having a big readership was never expected but... As it happens, when I created this alias I also promptly forgot to bind it to my regular mailbox! BEHOLD! HERE'S AN IDIOT OF OCEANIC MAGNITUDE! Now, I got exactly 4 messages in those 3 and 1/2 years, 2 from solderpunk who were CCd to my regular mailbox. I'm now replying to the other two messages. God, how will I find the words to explain this one... At any rate I ow a public apology to Flatline and [FN/1] Flatline seems to have departed the Zaibatsu for good [2]. I deeply regret missing the opportunity getting to better know each other. Good speed Jean! Notes ----- [FN/1] Got an email address for but no circumlunar, or elsewhere, handle. I'm not about to publish his address here. If you happen to ever have written to me about one of my posts not being accessible, you know who you are.
