rolig A friend of mine today forwarded an email to me from someone who was trying to get in touch with me. He had written to my friend this message:
Could you please make sure Rolig gets the following. I sent it earlier, but the internet "MAILER-daemon" said the address wasn't properly configured. I resent it, but please make sure he gets this.
I told him there was no need for resentment just because of some email glitch. Apr 14, 2009
