TIAC forwarding?
Alan Cohen
Got set up at shore.net ; nice folks; fast service, answer the phone,
you know, normal service industry type stuff...
Question - b4 I cancel my account with TIAC , is there the slimmest
chance that they might actually do the right thing and implement a 30
day email forwarding ? Anyone have any experience?
Thanks..

As Marty said, ask them but another thought might be if you have a shell account
and they have pico, create a .forward file and perhaps like when I closed out my
world account, they will forward it for 30 days like world did.

forwarding off email, but there were no processes in place to track
adding that forwarding, or remove it after 30 days. Maybe that's
changed, but I'd doubt it.

You are correct sir ! (apologies to Ed McMahon)
A friend of mine cancelled his TIAC account 2 1/2 YEARS ago...
And his users home page is still there...
I only left a 4-6 months ago, and naturally mine is still there as
well.
I think if Chuck asked nicely, he could get a permanent forward. (as
permanent as TIAC, anyway)

Perhaps this is the source of the ridiculously high subscriber figures.
People only *think* it means whoever is currently subscribed. In reality,
it means the total numbero users who have EVER subscribed, even if they
are long gone (Hey, if there's a web page, ther must be a subscriber,
right?)
P.S. I apologize for my ytpo.s The system is currently taking up to 30
seconds to echo back a character to me, so I can't really see them as I'm
typing them.

up for a good year and a half after I left TIAC. Amusingly enough, when
it finally did get wiped out, I remember it being due to a hard drive
crash that wasn't restored properly, not because of an audit of some
sort.
In addition, I believe the ftp account to the particular web server was
eliminated after I left TIAC, but actually returned to service a couple
of months later due to yet another crash. Funny stuff.
