Since time immemorial, I’ve held a user account with www.excite.com
My e-mail address even reflects my immaturity at that time (what I thought to be a creative combination of my zodiac sign, birthday and misspelled signifier of girl). I’m not sure why I’ve kept this account for so long. I’ve probably used it for years because it has served as a dumping spot for any untrusted Web sites’ requests for information, mass e-mail chains I care not to read or if I wanted to sign up for the Journal of American Medicine.
Lately, I’ve been unable to access my e-mail account, which is unfortunate because for once I actually do need something from my inbox. The wonderful team at Excite decided to upgrade users’ e-mail systems to the most non-user-friendly, bastardization of e-mail accounts in recent history. And I’m not the only boo-wisher chanting “U Suck Excite.” (The Excite Mail System Still Sucks). Much to my dismay, it looks like they are doing another upgrade, which is probably the reason I cannot access my e-mail over the last six months.
It may be time to move on and leave behind old, feckless ties. Good riddance excite. Blessed art myself to focus on my other four e-mail accounts.
