Bugs and Subscriber Issues
First up: to anyone who has turned off the email blast feature, and you're still getting the messages, my deepest apologies: it's not our intention to send you messages without your permission, and something is broken with our system that results in the email blasts being sent out even though you've turned off that feature. Please be patient while we fix this, and I apologize for the unwanted email messages (including this one).  ops:
Next, there are lots of questions about the subscriber services, so I'm working on a FAQ. I expect it to go live later today and address some of the questions that have been raised.
The response has been overwhelming - I'm still a little stunned at how many of you have subscribed (especially you "lifetimers"). Thank you!

Jason:
Just wanted to let you know that the email blasts have been tagged as junk mail in the Razor spam checking software. So those of you who aren't getting the email blasts but should, make sure you add them to your whitelist...

Good point. In fact, anyone who's using spam-blocking software should put pocketpcthoughts.com in the whitelist. We'll never spam you. :-)

From the text on that page:
"Our system can only go up to a maximum of five years, but rest assured when the five years are up we'll renew your account hassle-free."
The issue is that PayPal has a hard-coded limit of 5 years.

It seems that some programmers have not learned from Y2K that hard-coding things is a problem waiting to happen.

What email? The one telling you you've subscribed? Hmm...you should have! It looks like our system signed you up though, right? (you have the badge)

How many subscribers have you got so far (if you can say)? I'll sign up as soon as I get my paypal account sorted. :roll: Need to confirm the credit card.... :evil:

What if it's a security issue? Maybe not in this case, but others surely.
