PM: as many different minds and opinions as persons Posted by elanor of aquitania December 07, 2004 - 15:57:00 Topic ID# 3061

You did !
But this person here is one hunted by real life dates
that I always do first what is most pressing ;-)

So probably I will behave again badly
and postpone reading and voting until
the very last hour ;-)
Sorry about that, but so is my mind's organization.
I think Nerwen has a similar problem
as she counted to fulfil her promises
and did not send her votes because she
accounted this as a little bit less pressing.

There might be more personalities
like ours ;-)

Yes, you did !
But then I thought, my PC has to be at least
powered and my e-mail program started
to send the message. In this case
I would have to be at home on amnesty date
or any other decisive voting time.
And then there is no need any more to
set the e-mail client to an assigned date.
Because I wrote the votes into an prepared e-mail
anyhow stored on the hard disk.

My problem is to have the e-mail client working
in the decisive phases.
This _is_ easier during a week of voting
but was not on amnesty day which was
on a weekend if I remember rightly.

Maybe you thought on the provider client ?
I have never tested this as well.
Maybe I will have tested this until next year.

I will consider this next time ;-)

Yes, I voted :-)

Sigh, there are so many different minds and opinions
as there are persons !
