Ed,

In the so-called "bit bucket". At least that's what bona-fide certified 
nerds call it. It seems that the "internet" (which is basically a 
worldwide network of lots of computers through which data - including 
e-mail - sort of finds its way using agreed-upon protocols to its 
destination) has all kinds of virtual nooks and crannies that "swallow 
up" messages - and sometimes spit them out months or even years later, 
and sometimes never. Or maybe years after we are all dead and buried 
some of those messages will show up at their destination - if it still 
exists, that is... Some years ago I served on the Board of a musical 
organization. About three years after I quit, I got a bunch of replies 
to messages that I had sent out regarding organizational business - 
dated several years before, from people I haven't communicated with for 
years...
