The new word, barring too many DQs, is:

where capitalization has no significance.

Please send your fake definition of LEISTER to emallach at verizon dot net by 8 am US EST on Tues., Feb. 23, 45+ hours from now. Don't Reply to this message without changing your reply's To field, or you'll send your fake to all of us.

If  you know what LEISTER means, please let me know ASAP the same way. If enough people know it, I'll find another word.

and other times in other places. You might want to confirm any conversion that affects you.

I expect votes to be due about 48 hours after the definition deadline.

Am I alone i not having received this message? This has happened to be several times in the last few rounds. It seems to be only the original word announcement that gets lost; on this occasion, for example, I have received the comments from Alan and Judy. Any ideas why this might be?

Best wishes,

Tim Bourne.

[France International/Mike Shefler]

I received it. But then, I never receive messages from Hugo, whether sent to me directly or through the forum. Strange are the ways of the internet, for they are subtle and quick to confuse.

I suspect that your ISP's spam checker has decided that Hugo's email domain is a source of spam and has blocked his mail. These days that only lasts a day or so. But some ISPs still set up a permanent ban and expect that the blocked ISP will apply to be whitelisted. At one stage CompuServe banned my mail. The link I got on the bounce message told me to get my ISP, which was KPN, the former PTT, to follow CompuServe's unblocking procedure, without which CompuServe would continue to block mail from all of KPN's 14 million Dutch customers. But large ISPs naturally won't do that. They reckon that the action they themselves take against spam sent through their servers is adequate, and don't consider themselves beholden to what can often be an SME throwing its weight around. Such blocks are an outdated response but they still happen.

[Ryan McGill]

Paul, what do you mean by SME in this instance? I find several of the potential definitions make sense in this context.

Thanks,

Ryan

[Ryan McGill]

Well then. Glad I asked, as that wasn't even one of the ones I thought might be a frontrunner.
