Why verify addresses to turn of mefi mail reminders?

November 11, 2008 10:42 PM

Why do I have to have a verified email address to opt out of mefi mail reminders? It wasn't a huge pain to verify it, but it doesn't make sense that I had to. It should have nothing to do with my email.

You shouldn't have to have a verified email address to opt out of reminders--that was a mistake. It's fixed now, sorry about the hassle.

Likewise, though the last bathroom trip may have solved that for the day.

Ya know, MetaFilter really needs a full-time mod who can spend his or her time closing up neatly resolved threads like this one.

I read Rock Steady's comment and was hoping it was posted by cortex. Or, even more deliciously, by mathowie.

I just turned 45 on the 1st. My dad got me a predisposition to gout for my birthday. He's thoughtful like that.

*Temporarily shelves stage-galway accent* I should clarify that in no way, shape, or form is It's Raining Florence Henderson my Auld Wan.

And maybe girls, too. Or is wan a masculine noun?
posted by empyrean at 1:36 PM on November 12, 2008

The Masucline of Auld Wan would be Auld Fella (or Aul'f'la in some, less reputable, parts of the city).

This is why I was so quick to clarify, as it is alleged that IRFH is of the male variety. Like.
posted by Nick Verstayne at 2:04 PM on November 12, 2008

And, of course, Masucline is spelled exactly as it sounds everywhere else but here.
posted by Nick Verstayne at 2:06 PM on November 12, 2008

Everybody knows that the Masucline is a scale of continuous graduation between a rough wooden boxed used to measure rice and an exquisite lacquered one where expensive sake is served.

Masculine men just drink gasoline out of the pump.

Masculine: lettuce salad or psychoactive alkaloid? I vote for one first, then the other.
