My forwarding address from my college (alumni.unh.edu) is randomly and inexplicably failing to work. I'm tired of this happening, so will start phasing out the use of it, and use my gmail account instead.

This is intended as an FYI about it. :)

They installed spam filtering several months ago, with (IMO) too-aggressive settings. I have not had much real mail lost to it, but I have had some.

I am saddened by your themes of moving away and breaking contact. Strange because you're effectively not going any further away, and I can hardly say I know you.

I know you because you have written enough for me to see who you are, and you could perhaps know me because I have written enough that you could have read, but we have never known each other together.

I wonder what the name for that is. It's some new 21st century thing that couldn't have existed before.

What?

This post was about my forwarding address from my college being dumb and not always working.

Not sure what theme you're seeing (except possibly that I post very little because of my wrists?).

We _have_ actually met, for what that's worth. And I do feel like I have some sense of you, although it's certainly true that I do not derive sufficient amounts of sense of people from purely online contact.

Anyway. Confused. :)

(also? I've known that I can't live in New England my whole life for as long as I've had seasonal depression, so not sure how that's new?)

Aaah. Suddenly the behavior makes sense. Still irritating, though.

I seem to be having that reaction a lot lately. I should pay attention to it.

Anyway. Post wasn't about the your flakey email, but about all the things you mention.

I think the story I'm posting about is: "Stranger with one life intersects slightly with another stranger and another life. Things change, and {?the future happens}"

I know we have met, but the bulk of our contact has been in LJ like this. The only times I've mailed you if I recall have been when I had something happy and positive to say in response to a time when you were happy and positive and I thought "why don't I save this post till the middle of winter when you're down." Six months later I have forgotten the original thought, so i say something else.

Also, am amused that you have an appropriate icon for this thread.

Which reaction? The people going away one, or the blink one I had? :)

Also, the fact that you were mailing me with random happy/positive things in mid-winter is both something I hadn't actively noticed (I'm like that sometimes!), and am thoroughly charmed by. :)

Charmed!

True, though, that most of our contact has been via LJ. Still vaguely confused, but I suspect that may be a side-effect of my difficulty getting strong sense of people via online interaction.

The blink one. I'll say something that makes perfect sense if you know what I'm referring to, but I leave out important bits.
