David,
Remember my own little "email address" problem from a couple of years ago. I
think you were in the loop on it with Hermit.
Note the date: Two days after 9/11/2001.
Mass hysteria!!!
Walter
PS--I hope you have better luck with AOL than I did with Tulsa.com.

Hermit,
I'll finish reading and responding to your post on your experience
with an Arab family over the next day or two.
Cecelia and I lived in Khamis Mushayt, SA, just about 100 miles SW of
Mecca in 1983.
At the moment, though, I've got something quite different to deal with
that I've got to decide a course of action.
It appears the domain that hosts my email account
http://www.tulsa.com
has suddenly decided to filter mail from virus@lucifer.com
I called this morning and talked to the wife of the owner of the domain,
who, when I told her of my lack of list mail for 36 hours from
virus@lucifer.com, replied:
"who would want email from such a domain"...."sounds like devil worship
to me"
When I tried to explain in an intelligent way that it was purposefully
named to repel people of low intelligence and mytho-literal bents, she
continued to ask more questions of the type of things discussed in the
forum.
I tried to explain, but eventually she asked "don't you people believe
in god"
Before the words "basically no" had escaped my lips, I heard the words
"I'll pray for you".
I continued to probe the whereabouts of my email, and several scenarios
were introduced by her, but all in a "we didn't change anything tone".
1) could be in virus box, maybe because of originating domain name
2) something else triggered a filter
and anyway, her words kept ringing "who would want mail from that domain
anyway"????
So now I'm faced with several choices: (after verifying with David
McFadzean that I'm still really subscribed)
BTW--this is not my ISP, only my email host.
1) blow 'em off and use either one of my @cox.net email addresses or one of
my @walterwatts.com emails.
2) fight 'em--they host one really large website that I originally put
up (and with a little effort could probably get moved)
3) any ideas???
