[Comments are still borked. Apparently the system is receiving them, but not displaying. It's a problem with Typepad; nothing we can do directly. But I will open a new thread here to allow some commenting to continue.]
My closing thoughts: I hear what everyone is saying and I respect it. Sometimes I just have to get hit in the face with something before I see it. For example, last week my wife and I were invited by my chairman to a dinner, with another professor couple. We asked what we could bring. The chair's wife said "Nothing, just yourselves!" My wife asked me, "Well, what are we bringing?" I said "Nothing, of course. That's what she said isn't it?" My wife rolled her eyes. She got some little flowers. I rolled my eyes. We get there and the other wife had brought big flowers. My wife, whose suffering of my ways has been long and not always patient, glared at me. OK, OK, OK, finally, I get it: "Nothing" means "Flowers."
I do think the world is a better place with such things and so I respect what this community is saying about the Serio. You've convinced me; I made a mistake. Therefore I will not ignore emails that have no Serios attached. I will try to read everything I get. This is nice anyways because it also allows me to go back to Thunderbird, which I prefer to Outlook.
However, I still like the virtual game aspect of the Serio. So if someone gets an Attent account and sends me some Serios - which you can do without Outlook - I will perk up and notice, if only because the sender seems to share my interest in virtual currency. Heck if you want Serios, just go get an account, email me a request, and I will send you some.
Serios remain on my radar. If you are someone I don't know and you really, really, really want to dialog, do the Serio thing and I promise to get to your message quickly.
Thanks everyone for your comments and if I offended, I apologize.
