Dear Fateback Webhosting and Mail.com,
Thank you so very much! You have both teamed up and in a glorius act of extreme aggravation kindness, have made it impossible for me to update my site. Especially since I have a small announcement that I would like to make on the site - being unable to update - unable to log in to my FTP - how brilliant! Even moreso when you consider the fact that if this keeps up, I won't even be able to post a message saying that I've moved servers! Excellent! Wonderful!
To address each of you seperately and not as one entity:
Fateback, oh you tease. I know you had been experiencing some sort of technical difficulty which made it impossible for my page, as well as any other Fateback page to show up ("Cannot find server"), and I know this had went on for a few days. But, lo and behold, you came back online! I was thrilled to see that my site had not somehow been deleted; it still stands where it always has since August 10, 2003. So thrilled, that I tried to log in to my FTP so I could update.
And then you came up with the clever little joke of "improper password". Well, my sense of humour isn't as well-developed as yours, and I was rather confused. I tried out another password, thinking that perhaps I had changed it. Still, the same message. SO I logged in to my email account and typed in the proper password I'd been given, capitals and all. Still, "improper password." Oh Fateback, you certainly know how to make a joke!
Trying on the actual site produced the same effect, and by now I was confused. (As I stated earlier, you and I have varying degrees of humour.) So, as a last-ditch attempt, I went to the "Forgot your password?" form, and filled it out.
And here, mail.com, is where you get to shine. "You will recieve an email with your new password in a few minutes.", Fateback had told me. But it appeared you and Fateback worked on this joke together, you clever people. Well, I went to mail.com, typed in my email and password (hoping it would still work, for I had not logged in for a while), and it did. But no message.
"Oh well," I thought, "I'll give it a few minutes."
So I waited five minutes. No message. Ten minutes. No message. Mail.com, you and Fateback certainly do make an aggravating formidable team. Thinking you were just being slow that night, I decided to wait until morning, which I would check before school.
Still no message. Mail.com, you tease. I thought perhaps you were taking the joke too far by this point, but that was just me.
So, I thought I would wait until after school. This I did; I checked around 4 pm. No message. By this point I really did have to applaud you (even if you weren't there to see) for your dedication and perserverance in executing this prank on me. Rather delightful, I say.
I just checked five minutes ago. No new messages. I applaud you and Fateback both; you have executed a beautiful, glorious prank on me. ha ha ha! Learning to laugh at oneself for being a victim of a prank is a lesson we certainly all should learn! Thank you both for this lovely little laugh! My best wishes go out to you!
Sincerely,
An Extremely Annoyed Webmaster
