Hey M (or is it Mr. J?),

It must be something to do with the name.

Remember the days of old fashioned T-mail?

Duuuh, just got it. Should have been earlier considering BT's use of ET. sorry for being so dim. Anyway, MJ's got my Email now.
Have fun.

Please... put me out of my stupid misery...
Tmail? C'mon boys? In simple terms...

[Jim ashby]

Use the Telephone. I'd prefer if you Emailed me as my numbr is ex-directory.
Have fun.

[Jim23]

Tmail: Terrestrial Mail.

Never heard that expression before?

Now "ex-directory", that's a strange one.

:p Right... mine is ex, too.
Thanks for the explanation... and forcing me to humble and humiliate myself in front of all these nice people, just when I thought I had them thinking I was so clever... :D

Around my house we called T-mail by another name. Snail Mail would´ve sounded much more familiar.

[Jim23]

So, you still say snail mail. Man, like, get with the program ... that's so 90s ... that's sooo not cool.;) (that's so not English)
