En kort note vdr. kontaktoplysninger

Jeg har angivet en kontaktmailadresse til kommentatorerne ved en tidligere lejlighed, og har også haft adressen stående på bloggen.

Den adresse er nu blevet ændret. Det var ikke med min gode vilje, men for anden gang på et år har et mailsystem bare stjålet min (gratis) mail fra mig uden varsel. Systemet vil ikke længere acceptere mine log-on oplysninger, selvom jeg aldrig har ændret dem på nogen måde og mailen har været aktiv i hele perioden (det gælder igen begge tilfælde). Da det for et stykke tid siden skete med min hotmail konto, mistede hotmail mig som ‘kunde’ i al fremtid, for det var et adressekartotek der gik over 5 år tilbage, som bare var tabt. Den her mail var alligevel ret ny, bruges kun i denne sammenhæng, og det tager rundt regnet et halvt minut at oprette en ny konto på samme site, så ingen større skade er sket (og givet at det åbenbart er standard praksis at gratis mail-providers opfører sig som dumme svin, gider jeg ikke spilde tid på at finde en, der ikke gør – rådne æbler og alt det der).

Hvis du har mailet til mig for nyligt, så må du meget gerne gensende din mail, hvis du stadig har en kopi eller kan huske, hvad du skrev, og hvis du fremover ønsker at kontakte mig, er den tidligere mail ikke længere anvendelig – brug i stedet den nye, som er blevet noteret i about-sektionen ude til højre.
