Oh sorry I did not mean to suggest Fastmail was a faceless megacorp, I was thinking of Google, MS, Apple, etc. I fondly recall many years ago I had some WebDAV issue and got a reply directly from you saying you'd fixed the issue but yo

I've been using Purelymail as my sole mail provider for over a year now (previously with Fastmail) and it has been my best email experience. It's a one-man enterprise, which may frighten some people, but I prefer boutique internet

Correct. I'm 36 and unless it was mild or asymptomatic, I'm sure I've never had influenza. When people exaggerate a common cold into "the flu" I respond with equal exaggeration by insisting I take them to the hospit
