Oh No, Not Again!
Ah, yeah, we know. You’re getting barraged by emails announcing this new posting. After the same thing happened Monday, we thought we’d found a solution. . . No such luck. As we write this, however, we are switching to a new ‘listserver’ software which should eliminate the problem. (We’re keeping our fingers crossed.)
The backstory: Moments after we posted Monday’s edition of ‘Lectronic Latitude, subscribers were deluged with an avalanche of identical emails announcing the new edition. This resulted in our office being deluged by an avalanche of phone calls and emails from perplexed subscribers! Thankfully, most of them were good-natured and understanding.
At first we assumed that the mysterious incident was caused by an alien invasion. Turned out, though, to be a problem with our ‘listserver software’ which mischievously put the notification message into a seemingly endless loop.
Again, our apologies for the inconvenience.
