I just have to share this :-)

I'm a member of an online consumer survey site (My Survey) -- it's one of those where you earn points for taking surveys and then can redeem them for cash.

When re-doing the filters on my email accounts yesterday, I managed to set them to filter out essentially all my email (except my email at the young, upstart university), so if you emailed me between the evening of Sunday, 20 July and this afternoon (3 pm, Monday, 21 July), I didn't get your email. So please send it again!
