Can’t use a gmail plus for an email. It’s a way of preventing spam. https://reinkefj.wordpress.com/2006/12/16/productivity-use-two-gmail-accounts-to-protect-an-isp-email-account/

Sorry can use your site until you support gmail plus signs.

==============

Just trust us. We’d never spam you. Or, make a mistake.

Yeahhhhhh

RANT: Are government workers “special”

Monday, December 18, 2006

… or at least are they allowed to flaunt the law?

Yesterday, in NYC, I traveled my usual route, and on this one block with a firehouse, the block was wall to wall cars. Cars on the sidewalk. Cards double parked for the length of a long block. It was tight just to get through. I had to wait while some one was dropped off.

It was “obviously” the fire house’s holiday party.

If you or I did that, cars would get towed.

So are government workers above the law?

Silly serf, obviously yes!
