Jafo's First Law

If it can go wrong....it will.....to me.
For several days now I hadn't been receiving the CC notifications of submission rejection emails....which made things 'interesting' when asked in IRC "Why was my [insert skin/wall] rejected?"
I kinda looked even sillier [than usual] when on checking the rejected upload I realised it was one I had dealt with. But all was resolved...it was a simple failed preview image thingie....
While I was poking and prodding Outlook with that ten-foot barge-pole everyone keeps handy when dealing with System Bugs [tm] I found what was probably my first Wincustomize rejection email..... 24th of July, 2001. Oddly it didn't make much sense...the gist of it was "XP issue" - Lord knows what that meant....
A few years ago I came to the realisation that keeping ALL these CC emails was getting a bit 'anal'...so I deleted a whole bunch.
Now, other than that first one....I only have them going back to Jan 2005.
I put 'em all in a folder....cleverly named 'WC'.
Even with that 'spring clean' there are still 8086 of them.
Next month it'll be spring again [here].....
....nah. I'll hang onto 'em....you never know what you might need to do next.....

My WC folder says 6347 e-mails - I had a pc problem a couple of years ago which lost me huge chunks of e-mail. The back-up was corrupt too grrr - 'effin' Outlook 
I find them useful. Every so often you'll see a thread entitled 'rejected - why?', or words to that effect. Sure enough there will be an e-mail from a mod explaining why.
