SAD SIGN OF THE TIMES

I just sent out todays newsletter - it goes out twice a week to over 2700 subscribers - and I always wait about 15 minutes to see which ones bounce back, and why. I always get several "mailbox full" returns - some folks forget to delete old mail and others have abandoned old mailboxes without closing them. I always wait about three weeks and if the mail continues to come back I delete the address. But these past few issues several newsletters have returned from corporate e-mail addresses with the notation "mailbox closed" - another cabaret fan has lost their job. I should be optimistic - maybe their corporate mailbox was closed because they moved to another firm at higher pay. Maybe they retired to a warmer, quieter place. Let's hope and pray that this financial mess clears up fast.
