I sent Maineiac an email from hotmail and he says he got 249 copies.
What the hell? Has this happened to any other hotmail users? I tried to send him an apology but apparently I have sent the "maximum number" of emails allowable in one day. :crazy:

13. No, but it's because I've always assumed he sounds a certain way.
I can hear his (and it's a 'him') hysterical laughter right now.

Or is that my own? :P

14. But, is it high pitched? Or more of a gawf?
OMG! He laughs like Woody Woodpecker doesn't he? :o

He sounds like a hysterical drunk cowboy. Or something.

21. That's it exactly!
What a good question. Everybody probably has their own perception.

I'm having trouble typing because my cat is lying in my lap.

15. Actually, I've always been kind of freaked out by the fact that his tongue seems
to be super-glued to his chin

5. Freecycle?
I haven't heard of it. I hope it's hotmail's problem and not my computer's.

They use the Yahoo Groups system for their email.

25. Well it sounds like a glitch in their system
unless you sent it 249 times

I got the same email from someone on yahoo on an e-group list that i belong to and it came over and over, day after day for several days like it was a new send. I really was wondering if the woman had lost her marbles since everyday the same one came. However it stopped coming, I ran into her at a meeting and she was saying that she wasn't sure why that had happened.

Anyway, it is easy to send him an apology or pick up the phone, or whatever since he's right there.

:D

26. No dear, when you send spam you're supposed to send 1 copy to 249 different people
not 249 copies to 1 person. :D

27. 249 copies to one person is more of a mail bomb than spam
*boom*
