It Is So Frustrating .......

That just sucks! Wish they would leave alternate ways to contact them, but then again, they probably feel they would be harrassed and pressured! Hope they reach out to you again and you get to share your info! Have a great week!

Hi Dagney.  Emailing can be frustrating sometimes.  I know that the problem you are talking about happens when the person's email limit has been reached.  I'm not sure if you can access who owns an email address, but maybe you can try to go to aol.com and see if there's an option to look it up.  I don't think so because of the spam situation.  May I ask you a question?  How did you get your Activerain to look so nice ---just like a real blog.  Mine looks like a rookie ActiveRain place.  I'd appreciate your advice on how I can get mine to look better.  Thanks for the post and good luck.

I'd like to know the answer to that question too. I'll check back. Sorry I'm no real hope.

That is a bummer!  Maybe their inbox was full or something? 

On the ScribeFire note, I downloaded that, I'm a slow learner though and it was overwhelming, too much info for me at the time, so I'm pretty one dimensional on my blog too, though I did pay someone to make it look a little prettier ;-)

Good morning, Dagny....that's a good question....I, too, will check back to see what you get for answers....

HI Dagny - Can anyone on the Wilton Patch help with that technical question? You might also try again in case it was a situation where the person' mailbox was full.

Dagny, have had this happen a few times and have not been able to find out the real email...i've tried variations based upon the letters near certain ones on  the keyboard to see if i could come up with the real thing..no luck!  If they don't type right you are out of luck.

Oh, that stinks, Dagny.  I would try to contact patch.com...and, I might try again today (in case it was due to it being full.

my only other suggestion is if there is a place for comments to leave one indicating you tried to reach out for them to pls call back.

Dagny, I am so ANTI-AOL for the fact this is an ongoing issue! 90% chance they DID get the email and will responding to the email they sent you.... So, you may be getting a response back as well once they get to checking their email... Secondly, google the EMAIL~ you would be surprised how it may come up on a social network that they may be members. ;) Let me know~ if I was right... ;)

Dagny: Can you post something regarding this topic in the Patch? Maybe that person will recognize themselves and try again to contact you? I'd keep trying the email address too. As mentioned above, maybe it's just a short-term "glitch" being experienced. You never know, it may go through at a later date. Worth a try ...

Dagny, It may have been a temporary glitch. The systems are not without their faults and problems.

Dagny, I feel your pain. I hope you can get back to that person. It is the most annoying thing when you try to be responsive to the public and this great technology that we have , which is supposed to facilitate that communication, lets us down.
