Communication restored

I don't usually bother with the email function in Flickr, because I'd configured it so any Flickrmail sent to me was forwarded to my home email address, and most of the time it was just notifications about strange people adding me as a contact (50% of the time they have their tackle on show... meh).

But today on a whim I clicked on the inbox in Flickr, and found three months worth of unread Flickr mail!! Stuff from friends who probably thought I was rude to ignore them. Stuff from people who I've never met but sent me really nice messages that I never replied to. And the usual page after page of add notifications from the tackle-out brigade. I didn't miss those so much, but you'd have thought I'd have noticed their absence!

If you've emailed me via flickr since around Christmas last year, and I've not replied, so very sorry!

sophie h Oh Becky, I hope you’re not including me as one of the strange ones? As for the tackle-out brigade I just don’t get why they do it.
But then I suppose most people don’t get why we do what we do. I still don’t know why for sure, but I think the first part of your ‘About Me, Who I am, what I do, but not why I do it’ sums it up as near as I’m going to get.
I consider myself fortunate that up to now I only get emails from friends like yourself.
So anyway, keep up the good work. NIL ILLEGITIMUS CARBORUNDUM.

Freiya i think i must be lucky because i rarely get add notifications from people who want to show me their various bits,
one of the nicest things on flickr though are the messages from people you don't know saying lovely things :)

( my word verification for this comment was 'hagyou', damn you blogger and your cruel subliminal messages! )
