[NTLK] ANN: USB-001 Pre-Order Opportunity

[Doug Denby]

Oh, even better, tried to send a copy of my last email direct to knowlegeNavigator at gmail.com, the address given in the USB promotional eMail. The eMail bounced with the message:Remote host said:

550-5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try
550-5.1.1 double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or
550-5.1.1 unnecessary spaces

Double Damn. Not my spelling or punctuation problem. I copied it from the original note.
