With all respect, and at the risk of being criticized as tactless or unsympathetic, I must ask: Could someone please explain exactly what the hold-up is? Since Liz sent out her "second batch" of notices via Mudcat PM's, they must be in the "Sent Messages" section of her Mudcat Personal Page. Therefore, if the problem is with her own computer, all she would have to do is: (a) go to a library or to the home of a friend who has a computer, log in to Mudcat from there, and re-send the PM's; or (b) if she is too sick to go out, phone a friend with a computer and ask the friend to write to Joe Offer or someone else at Mudcat to see what the-powers-that-be can do to get the PM's delivered; or (c) give her password to the friend, so that the friend could re-send the PM's for her. Even if the friend were another Mudcatter, he/she could log in to Liz's account using Liz's screen name and password. The password could always be changed later on if Liz were concerned about privacy. However, if the problem is with Liz's Mudcat account and if the Mudcat tech-elves can't solve it, then isn't it time to delegate the PM-ing task to someone whose account is in working order, so that everyone who has signed up to play the Secret Santa game (and to write funny GUEST messages with clues to their identities) will be able to play together??? I'm receiving PM's from people venting their frustration and asking me if there's anything we can do about this situation. I'm not sure how I came to be the champion of the downtrodden *grin* but, for their sakes and mine, I am speaking up to ask what it is that's causing this logjam (and to suggest several ways to free it). Thanks in advance for any information. Best, Sharon (sorely in need of holiday cheer)
