Comment Itâ(TM)s gotten so bad Iâ(TM)m in the pr (Score 1) 257

Most recently someone signed up for ebay using my email address. Same as others, firstname.lastname@gmail.com, Iâ(TM)m in the US.

To date:
Two different people using it to sign up for their three account in the UK
One landscaping quote in the UK
Three golf course reservations in the UK
Multiple airline ticket confirmations from all over
Emails asking for follow up in person interviews in the US and UK

For the interview emails Iâ(TM)ve responded saying that whoever they interviewed they gave the wrong email address, and received thank you notes.

At this point I get about an equal amount of mail for myself as for other people. Iâ(TM)ve tried sorting it out, but three only does customer support over twitter, and never fixed the first account when I DMâ(TM)d them. For EBay I never responded to the âoeverify my accountâ email, but that didnâ(TM)t seem to matter.

Worse, Adobe's decision is having serious fallout for other communities like the photographer community that historically always used Photoshop for their touch-up work because it integrated well with Lightroom. Even though they haven't been stupid enough to make LR cloud-only, there are a lot of folks who are very unhappy with the current state of affairs.

Yep. I'll be sticking with LR4 and CS6 until they no longer meet my needs, then I'll be re-evaluating other offerings. They can say they won't switch LR to a subscription based model, but after having CS pulled out from under me like that, I'm not going to take the chance.

The only real surprise here is that UNL is ditching Notes; that it's moving to a Microsoft product is a given at this point. (If you know the University's relationship with MS)

So long as I can setup imap/pop to pull mail to another client, I really don't care what they transition to so long as I never have to open Notes ever again.
