It reminds me of the lost cat Missing Missy poster.

In their older system, I have both my "official" full name @asu.edu, but also the alias "joshus," for my own amusement. Those names persisted across the changeover, but there was no mention that I would retain any ASU addresses, no less the b.s. aliases I set up for myself. Some years later, having to retrieve my transcripts, I came back to see my accounts had been thoroughly disabled and the support girl I talked to had never seen an account like mine before. Afraid I'd lose them, I didn't mention the aliases, but I'm pretty sure that on some poor, retired Unix server, a mail configuration file, untouched and unloved and ignored by the scripts that used to carefully edit it to the whims of its capricious users, still has a line with my name. And an arrow, to another name. Joshus. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Mercy General Sun, 27 Feb 2011 23:27:29 -0900 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=2193&msg_id=2198 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=2193&msg_id=2196 Does ASU not have a way for you to keep your email address after you have graduated? I still have my undergrad email address. It is mine for "life" or whatever. The only catch was that I had to log into my account within 6 months of graduating and set up an email forwarding account because I can't log into the email account using the campus email client. So I just have it forwarded to my gmail. Maybe you did that and just don't remember? Because I know I still receive emails from campus sometimes since my address is still active. That is pretty amusing that you get requests for help with work, though. I wonder what that kid thought when he/she got your email back. haha.

Just thought I'd, you know, weigh in.

I'm not exactly sure how it's still in there almost 4 years after I stopped paying them money, but it's there regardless. Given how I've seen email managed at my own work, it really shouldn't come as a surprise. What's fun is on occasion, I get random emails from ASU students and teachers. In particular, numerous nursing school students keep emailing me questions, study guides, etc. When somebody emailed me once asking if their PowerPoint slide looked alright, I emailed back saying it looked fine, and offered commentary on their font choice. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Mercy General Sat, 26 Feb 2011 15:09:01 -0900 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=2193&msg_id=2193
