I'll agree that a single fresh, hot Krispy Kreme is glorious. But don't eat three or more unless you're near an ER.

Sometime last year, an event I don't need to go into occurred when I was at a Krispy Kreme, intending to pick up 1/2 dozen donuts. The result was that in addition to those, they gave me a dozen glazed donuts for free.

No problem, I thought, I'll just give some of them away. But, in an odd twist of fate, not a single person that I knew was interested in free donuts (I mean really, people - what the hell?). And, well, I was taught not to waste food...

Krispy Kreme glazed in sight of a lit HOT neon sign or I'm out.

The problem with Krispy Kreme is that I can only have one before I start to feel like I'll go into a legit sugar coma if I have more. And I typically have a very high tolerance for sweet.

Totally agree. We have this every year. A fun time if the sight of people puking right and left doesn't bother you.

Your mailbox is full a lot of the time, and your ISP bounces mail IMMEDIATELY when it is. As someone who runs a bunch of automated email systems (like the one that sends you mail from Kickstarter), I know that for the most part, these failures are invisible to the sender, because it takes work to notice them, and most of us don't do that work. (If you send someone mail from a personal account, and it fails, you get the failure message back into the same account as you sent from, and you almost always see it. If you send someone mail automatically, and it fails, the failure message goes to a specific place - one that's usually full of all SORTS of failure messages, not all related to email. Unless someone is being diligent about checking, it's possible that these messages are never even noticed.)

I would bet 5 donuts that each of the missing updates were sent at a time when your box was full, and they simply bounced.

I definitely have had that problem but not for a while. Doesn't explain why the latest is nowhere to be found.

Are you gonna be at PAX, Kermit? If not, I volunteer to act as your proxy and let Claude pay up those 5 donuts to me.

Good news folks - Echoes is being duplicated as I write this!

That's awesome! Any chance of preorders going up for those of us that missed out on the Kickstarter?

Sort of don't like the title of this thread...

Sorry, I thought putting such an ominous clickbait title would freak people out momentarily, which is funny to me.

And as Speed already pointed out to me, I grossly overestimated the seriousness of the situation due to a misunderstanding of what the email was saying, which is what inspired me to make the post in the first place...

Yay!

But anyway, Kermit - I got ya covered.

Although you should check your junk mail folder.
