Who Will Be Member 666?


I'm not a religious person but I don't like to tempt fate.


My first job out of college was the graveyard computer operator at the Elgar Corporation, right behind the El Camino Cemetary. I was the only night worker...


Waiting for the computer to finish jobs, I had time to read books, and one book I read was The Demonologist.
And according to the demon-hunters, Mr and Mrs Warren, evil spirits are indeed attracted to the number 666.
I wouldn't want to assign that membership number to anyone good enough to support ferret legalization.
What should we do with member number 666? I'm tempted to donate a membership to DFG spokesman Ron J, but we're turning over a new leaf and trying to avoid negativity.
Hmmm.

IContact Reject CLIFFNotes over "Ebay" and "Craigslist"

Trying to send out last night's version of CLIFFNotes on IContact I received this error:

Your message has been rejected for the following reason:

This message does not meet our criteria for content. Unless and until this message meets criteria for prohibited content (http://www.icontact.com/terms/prohibited.php), you will be unable to send it via iContact.

The prohibited words were "EBay" and "Craigslist" neither of which is listed in the terms. I also embedded a YouTube video, which is not listed as a violation on their terms.

I asked for a 25% credit for the month which they declined, offering 10%. But since this was 25% of our monthly usage, 25% seemed fair.

We are no longer using IContact - I think they suck.

To read the CLIFFNotes in question, http://www.ferretsanon.com/CLIFFNotes/Vol3No47.html If you can recommend another company, I would appreciate it.
