OK so I'm bored and my curiosity got the better of me. Ut oh - sounds like trouble! So I tried sending myself a message. LOL yeah how VERY silly. Silly

Soooo the message I send pops up and I go, "huh" I guess I CAN do that! So I'm thinking that might be a clever way to send myself reminders - why? I have NO idea. Just bored and my brain is off on some bizarre tangent. Ok so I leave the message page and go back to discussion and the "you have a message" red indicator pops up. So I go back to the messages and it is my message to myself. Again. I click off on it and go back to reading discussion and there is ANOTHER message. I go back to messages and there it is AGAIN! Oh crap - have I gotten myself locked into some sort of message loop that I will never be able to escape? D'Oh

Sooooo I finally put on my thinking cap and deleted the dumb thing and "poof" problem disappears into cyberspace. WhewWhew! I can't imagine how embarrassed I would be if I had to go beg the webmaster to save me from my own self-made loop!

re: An odd glitch in the messaging system -- good for a laugh!

Great, no doubt others will try this since you mentioned this.

You may have started another chain of loops...

And now, I have to ask another question -- what would have happened if you had replied to your message??? I'm not curious enough to try it myself...

Hmm, you know what they say about people who talk to themselves... Now messaging oneself? I guess that's so you don't forget what you talked to yourself about?

re: An odd glitch in the messaging system -- good for a laugh!

Theresa, try this next: go to one of your e-mail accounts (if you have more than one) and set it for an "I'm out of the office" type auto-reply. Go to another of your email accounts and set it for an auto-reply also. Then send a message from one account to the other and see how long it takes before your email storage is full. Laughing

Theresa, sounds like you need to get out of town and meet some people --oh yes, I forgot, you're coming to ORLANDO aka TOLL CITY this weekend.


We'll make sure you have some real conversations...

Now if anyone can tell me why I am messaging at 2:30 in the morning, now THAT's just nuts.

(It was a long day and night of work, people, and not a good one at that Angry )

"Now if anyone can tell me why I am messaging at 2:30 in the morning,"



Because I need something to read to keep me awake during this graveyard shift.
Appreciate it, Bob. Thanks.
