			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a Love/Hate relationship with email and have . . . oh, since about 1984, when my ex bought one of the first Macs, along with a CompuServe account. Heady days, the net back then. But even in a time before some of my readers were born, the ‘net ate email in the same way that my dryer eats socks. </p>
<p>Unexpectedly. Mysteriously.</p>
<p>Annoyingly. </p>
<p>If you’ve been following this blog recently, you know I’ve updated my <a href="http://www.ramonarichards.com">website</a>. Liz did a great job, but in doing the update, she switched email programs on me. So currently, I can log on to two different servers, both which have email from the website. </p>
<p>As if I weren’t confused before. </p>
<p>One of these IS going away, so I have about two weeks to empty the hundreds of emails I’ve saved on that server to another account. In doing this I’ve made a rather disturbing find. </p>
<p>Unanswered emails that date back almost two years. Yikes!!</p>
<p>(Picture one tired writer heaving a deep sigh.)</p>
<p>Now this is no one’s fault but my own and my ineptitude with filters, spam controls, and a tendency to forget about emails that have been read and marked for response once they’ve scrolled two or three pages over. </p>
<p>I love email. Dearly. I depend on it. Addicted to it. Find it the best way to communicate since I was sending penpal letters to Ireland in junior high. But just as letters sometime disappear into the dead letter bin, email poofs into the Ethernet (or just my inbox) never to be seen again. </p>
<p>So if you’ve written me and didn’t hear back, I apologize. I found some of you. I hope all. </p>
<p>But as with socks and dryers, you just never know.<br />
