Hey! I heard that!

Okay, here's the deal:

I got ill a week ago. Very ill. I haven't been to work since, and haven't
checked my email either, since I am rebuilding my house and hence have no
Internet connection at home.

Normally, this should not be a problem; even though I get quite a bit of
email, a week's load shouldn't be a problem so I reckoned I'd just see what
the router dragged in by the time I got back to work.

However, an ex-colleague of mine sent me 3 MB worth of funny videos through
email almost the instant I called in sick, so my mailbox was flooded just
about from that moment on. This would explain the bouncing email mayhem on
this list (and quite a few others!).

So, I hereby apologise for the inconvenience caused to you all, and

Well, those domains are both mine. As some of you have since figured out,
Dasja.net is my girlfriend's, Jvdg.net is mine. Jvdg.net is much older, and
is hosted by a crappy hosting company I don't like very much but can't seem
to get rid of, which doesn't provide true (POP) email support, but only
forwarding. So email sent there is forwarded to my "real" email account at
dasja.net. Easy as pie, really.

Until something goes wrong and I have to figure out where in the chain the
fault lies, but that is another story.

Discontinued? Where did you get that idea?

Dude, you might want to check your facts before you go jumping to any
conclusions. Where did you get the idea that my domains and/or email boxes
have expired/been discontinued?

Also, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't publish any more email addresses
of mine on any mailing lists without my permission, no matter where you got
them. There is a reason I choose which email address I use for a certain
purpose, I hope you can respect that.
