Woo-hoo! My Email is Back Up!

I am connected to the world again. Here's what I learned:

• When the server on which Yahoo! has your email account goes screwy, Yahoo! will fix your [sarcasm]free email[/sarcasm] for just $30! (Ooh, sorry. Our bad. Credit card number, please?)

• About a gazillion of you Flickrmailed me to suggest I switch to G-mail. You're right - I probably should. But do you know how hard it is to extricate yourself from a longterm email addy? I'd sooner change my name.

Well, I'm back, baby. And I have new messages. Boy, do I have new messages.
