"Thank you!" ~ People are sending me snippy e-mails, "Since you haven't responded, I assume your answer is no." My mail is receiving, yet when I try to "reply" or "send", the mail just stacks up. A screen pops up: ___________________________________________ "There has been an error transferring your mail. I said: DATA and then the SMTP server said: 503 RCPT first (#5.5.1) OK? ___________________________________________ I'm glad THEY know what they're talking about, and I hope none of it was rude. And why doesn't OK fix the problem? Hey, THEY told me what the problem IS, why can't THEY fix it? I said OK! OK already! Do they just get in the problem, throw their hands up, and say "We better go get help with this. We can't fix this. Not with these sticks and wood and sandwiches." Why even ask me? What the hell am I gonna do about it? Say "NO, that's not the problem! (#6.6.1)" If you're SO smart, you twit, fix it! "We can't. We're stupid, but we're not to look that way, so we're designed to tell you and make you look stupid." They say: "PS: By the way, that 503 RCPT#5.5.1 ~ it's made up! Otherwise this error message would link you to it! Don't you think?" "OK?" Where is the "NO! IT"S NOT GD OK" button??? The "ELECTROCUTE YOUR DESIGNERS" BUTTON? "EAT ME" Sorry. I'm going outside with my tools and wine now. Laurels and Liquidambars talk to me.
