[21:35] <Bluelustreak> Too many inboxes in my gmail [21:36] <Bluelustreak> Pirate activists' emails have shifted themselves from "forums" to "Promotions" [21:36] <Bluelustreak> And I don't even know why or have time to figure out how to change it [21:36] <Bluelustreak> (Thanks) [21:37] <Bluelustreak> Al seemed eager to hear from Jamie...
