So I'm wondering ...

If relatives send you annoying and unsolicited political spam that advocates a viewpoint you don't agree with, is it justifiable to reciprocate?

Just wonderin'.

LOL. Yeah, telling them politely is probably the thing to do. Not as satisfying, but much more conducive to family harmony.

EDIT: What is up with these database errors? I'm having to try two and three times to post every comment.

I KNOW! I AM SO SICK of these "error" messages! This thing's starting to turn into MySpace with it's problems. I think they're throwing too many things into it at once with this Jabber, sponsored accounts, and voice post features.

Yeah, and now their reply link in the email notifications doesn't work either...

I think you're exactly right about the cause of the problem. I've seen this happen time and again with other sites -- they start out being a fairly basic site that does one thing well (in LJ's case, blogging), and then they start trying to add a bunch of other functionality and end up getting bloated and slow and frequently breaking. Same thing happens with software too. *looks pointedly at Photoshop*

Accursed Photoshop!
*strokes lovingly so as not to upset it*

I notice the emails only go wonky on Yahoo mail so far... Hotmail holds up well.
I really want to know what they're trying to accomplish with it...
Its YouToolate and MySpacedout to try and glut it out.
Next thing you know they'll give us 50K icons... *wrings hands*

Seriously. They really need to bump the icons to 60 k. I could have a BLAST with that.
