It's been a bad month.
First, I lost a bunch of e-mails and addresses at work. The same thing happened at home a short time later.
I was able to retrieve many of the addresses, but not all of them. Some important ones were missing, and I was forced to re-activate my LinkedIn account to find them.
For those of you unfamiliar with the site, LinkedIn is like FaceBook for business people. I was in it once before, found it beyond useless, and bailed.
It's still as big a waste of time as ever, but at least it was a place to find some e-mail addresses I thought were gone forever.
I'm sorry.
