The other night I opened an email from a friend asking me to join Reunion *dot* *com*.  I usually ignore things like this since I already have accounts at other similar social networking sites.  I don't know whether I was just caught up in my emotional high state after the Spurs beat the Hornets earlier that night and wasn't paying attention or what, but for some reason I decided to open it and sign up!  Why not!  I figured I might be able to find some long lost friends along the way, so I signed up.  Then I saw something about paying for a monthly membership and quickly lost interest.  I was halfway paying attention and saw a screen that asked for my Google account info which I figured was just a way of linking my account so I didn't have to enter it again.  Well about halfway through the page load after submitting, I quickly realized what was happening and as fast as I could I clicked on a link to skip that step.  What had happened was that the site sent an invitation to every single contact in my address book!  Crap!!!

So, to those of my readers who received an invitation from me, kindly disregard it unless you want to add me as a friend to a service I am sure to never use again in my life. 

To the following, please accept my apology:

• City of Austin Water Services 
• mortgage company customer service
• guy I used to work with 8 years ago
• my pastor
• home owners association members
• people who I turned down job offers from
• Microsoft SQL Server google group unsubscribe administrator
• Dell tech support person
• thermostat manufacturer tech support person

If I missed anyone, then consider this my apology and request to disregard the message...unless of course you want to add me as a friend!  That would be swell!
