Earthlink is ROTTEN & moth you described 7/4/06
Hi guys,
So sorry to hear of how Earthlink is being such jerks! (I have stronger words for Earthlink but was trying to be polite when writing you) Hee Hee Hee) Glad to hear you will be up and running again soon. In the mean time, I noticed a reply you made to someone (see your home page on July 4th this year) about a “Blinded Sphinx Moth” and how their eye spots look blinded because they have no pupil, just the blue iris. I just found one of these lovely moths in my garage last night and would love to send you my pic of what you described to them, showing the lovely pink underwings with the eye spots displayed. (and she’s a live specimen doing what they do when disturbed). You could display it with the other person’s pic if you want to clarify/show what you described to them. And just a note: A good comparison to a “non-blind moth” is on your “Moths – Sphinx” page about 2/3 of the way down (the Cerisy’s Sphinx (05/11/2005) Hawk-eyed Moth) Just drop me a line with a yes or no subject line. I know you’ve gotta be super busy! What bad timing for Earthlink to be such a pain in the butt. Good luck with your provider move, hope it runs smoothly. We’re all missing you guys right now! Take care,

Hi Michelle,
Thank you so much for sending such a thoughtful letter along with your beautiful photograph. Quite to our surprise, Dave, the official Earthlink Blogger, has contacted us and is going to try to find out why we are having problems. Seems he is also a fan of the site.
