Title: October Newsletter, so good they sent it twice? :-)
Post by: Ithoriel on 14 October 2013, 12:29:52 AM
Got two copies in my email sent 5 mins apart - don't immediately spot any differences - am I missing something or did someone hit the wrong button?

If the former - what changed?

If the latter - been there, done that!! :)

You're just lucky!   :D

Sometimes when I click 'Send', it times out a couple of times and I have to refresh the page (not surprising when sending 1278 emails), so I've always wondered if it ever duplicated any of them.

I get 2...I always thought we got two so we had one to read and one to save in mint condition so we can sell it later unused

I only ever get one.  :(

I suppose I'm not special enough to get two.  :(

Or is it a rank thing?

Only once over here, but its been awhile since the last one ?

Post by: Leon on 14 October 2013, 05:53:42 PM
Hmm, this is odd, I'll have to check and see if there's any way of sending it out in smaller batches, it must be duplicating some folk after it's timed out and I have to refresh.  I suppose twice is better than never though!

:D

Have you lot got two accounts as well?!   :D

I'm going to be pretty peeved if it turns out we've actually only got 639 members...  ;)

This is the first newsletter I've had twice.

To the best of my knowledge there's only one of me on the forum - let's face it one of me is more than enough!

Not a problem getting two, I was just concerned that the second might be a correction and I was missing the changed info.

Hi

I've always had two copies sent, but then I'm used to people always speaking slowly and clearly to me  :D

Cheers

Is there an easy way to do that with 1278 email addresses?!   :(

I'm thinking it's the timing out issue, so I'll try sending the next newsletter out in smaller batches and see what happens.

Brothers, in a deeper, spititual way, are we not ALL Leon? What is Leon except the summation of our desires and wishes? Without us, he would be a drifing soul, without meaning, without purpose, insignificant and probably slave to some pernicious vice (like naked XBox ... OK "some more pernicious vices"). Without us, Leon could not exist on this physical plain. He is the summation of the parts of us (the saki in the Pendraken karaoke singer) who desire to collect, base and paint fine figures in 10mm scale (and there are none finer than the Pendraken brand!) and then use them to destroy our enemies?

But then again, Brothers, is Leon not part of each of us (the snap, crackle and pop in the Pendraken breakfast cereal)? Without him, would we not stray from the paths of the True Scale, and wander the paths of the scales that are either too big, or to small, but never just right? Yes Brothers, we have all been that gamer. I confess I have dabbled in scales from the incredibly fiddly to the excessively large. But Leon has been there, a shining beacon in the wargaming firmament, to draw all right thinking gamers to the True Scale, and the more enlightened to adoration of the Perfect One. Does Leon not satisfy those urges that one cannot express to even one's closest family? Does he not give us each a way to live in our imaginations, to express the possible, to game in glory?

So Brothers, as Leon is us, we (the buds on the Pendraken bush) are Leon. This is the way it should be, and it shall ever be, and I for one, Brothers give thanks to Leon, every time my postman says "it's another one of them packages." (No, not those ones, that's something completely different - yes those ones, the small, heavy ones.)

Hi

I used to get news letters but never had one for ages now.

Maybe the members who get two could send me one of their spares  :).

I'm not sure why that is, your email address isn't coming up in the newsletter function.  I've just sent a copy to you though, so hopefully that's come through now.

I am confused
