ezxccsc....and jersey...
interesting about email conf. that was an angle i never even thought about checking!
...but it adds more weight to my feeling that alex is back...and probably has been back from SEA for a while now. his vmail, which is often gives a full message, also seems to get cleared from time to time...and that has been going on for a month or so...
could be other explanations...or someone else doing the clearing, of course...
jersey...your general take, given what i know of alex, feels the most logical to me. doesn't make any of this easier to take, and i not sure either what's next...but i think the bottom line for alex currently is he's that he's stuck between a rock and a hard place...
fwiw
