My poor lad's email account has been suspended by Gmail, lucky he has a hotmail and a yahoo that he had written to me from! I thought I'd lost him!

Is this normal?

Let's just say it's not abnormal. Wink

Some people think that if they get a scammers E-mail shut down that they are putting them out of business. Anyone who's ever opened a new E-mail account can attest it's a half hour max and may cost a few victims but now any references to that E-mail address on places like ScamWarners now become pretty worthless. Hard to say if the carrier did it by themselves or if someone reported them and asked for it to be done.

My longer baits often feature this kind of hiccup. Once I get in a couple months, there's usually a second email address for a main character, often referenced by a second character who says his "boss" is having email issues.

Does the Lads writing improve? I think I've heard that sometimes you're passed up the ladder in hopes of getting that big payday. You might start with the low Lad on the totem pole and get passed up as you go.
