The guy who has our old computer is holding all my email addresses ransom until we can fix it or find another computer to load everything onto it. As a result, there could be many people I owe email replies to but I wouldn't know it. I don't have the backlog of the mail, I don't have my address book, and I don't have a hardcopy of anything. - does anyone really do that?

Of course, all this wouldn't really matter if these people were to email me back asking me what the hell my problem was or if I even received the original email.
Miraculously, many people do not read this blog (gasp!) and may not even know about it. However, those that do... Geoff.... can you email me a fresh note so I can get back in touch? I want to know if you were able to follow my advice and take a stroll down Long Beach!
