Maybe another example of reality (as we know it) coming unglued...
or maybe just a fluke with the internet.
I'm not even sure I can explain it.
This morning I found in my INBOX a (new)email from someone I had
once been in an egroup with. Around 3 years ago.
At the time I was having a problem with some of the regulars, and
this person (who was more low key) wrote me a letter of "support"
saying how much she enjoyed my posts and how open and outspoken I
was, etc.
I wrote her back and we exchanged a few emails at the time.
I didn't notice this morning, as I clicked on REPLY and wrote
something back (to what I thought was another email from her- maybe
in support of what seemed to have happened here?) that the reply was
going to a group at "onelist" (which was later bought out and change
to yahoo egroups) and the date on it was 3 Mar 2096!
And on the bottom of it was a letter from me, it was in response
to, dated March 2000.
So, I wrote a response and sent it, and even though it was
to "onelist" which no longer exhists, apparently it was received by
the egroup and the person who's name was on it read it.
SHE THOUGHT I WAS WRITING TO HER NOW, responding to a letter from
2000! She wrote back and said it was good to hear from me after all
this time and answering a letter from 2000 sounded like something she
might do. And to refresh her memory, WHICH list was it referring to?
I had saved her origainl letter (of support) way back on the
earlier pages of my Yahoo email and I went to look and make sure it
was the same letter I had gotten this morning and it was no longer
there!
Thus, I received a letter in my IN BOX that I had orignally
received in 2003 (though it was now dated 2096- and I didn't even
have a computer till 1998) and thinking it was current, responded to
it- to an address of a group that was no longer "onelist". The person
got it, and wrote back, thinking I had just written to her after 3
years "out of the blue".
I just checked an the date on for the letter (unopenned) in my INBOX
says 1/27. The dates on the full hearder info say Mar 2000. Except
for the one place that says 3 Mar 2096.
I am waiting to see if she has any ideas about this, now that I've
written back and told her all this. And I hadn't written to her this
morning in response to the one I thought I had just received from her.
Maybe computers are really taking over and manipulating our lives?
More likely it's some sort of guidance to check out the egroup
(which I am still member of, and is now Yahoo egroups) that I haven't
thought about in a long time. Or else it's been stuck in a yahoo mail
bottleneck for 3 years and just go through!
Just thought I'd write about this here.
I mean Gary wrote a book based on conversations with ghosts (LOL)
