It appears that the reason I am no longer receiving email notifications may be because I have a free account (from back in the stone age when LJ was still giving out free accounts without advertising). I don't know if this is to coerce those of us who haven't given them money or permission to advertise into doing one or the other, but I must say if that's so they're going about it the wrong way [wry g]. If they want money from me or my permission to advertise on my LJ, they need to give me a positive incentive, not a negative one (or at least to warn me about incoming negative incentives and why they're happening -- a mass message would have done the trick). I have no objection to them needing to make money. What I object to is how they're going about it.

There's one way to prove this one way or the other, and that's to see if I get notifications on my

sojourn_town account, which has advertising on it. I am going to post over there requesting comments, and we'll see what happens.

If I do get email notifications there, then I suspect LJ has finally pushed me out the door, and I will begin whatever complicated process it takes to transfer my journal over there, and will be asking lots of stupid questions requesting answers in words of one syllable.

And asking for everyone's DW usernames. And doing that thing that I find really really obnoxious when other people do it, and that's cross-posting here with the request that people only comment over there.

Sigh. It's the principle of the thing at this point.

ETA: I'm not getting comment notifications on

sojourn_town, either. So it's not that it's a free account, and it's not my ISP. I don't know what else to do, and LJ is being no help whatsoever.

Anyway, I have friended everyone I could find over on DW. If you don't see that I've friended you there, and you have an account, please say something where I will see it. Like maybe friending me over there???

Thanks!
