Also, as I've pointed out before, the
enigmatic Liddell (with two Ls, as
in Alice-in-Wonderland Liddell, as in Liddell & Scott), might not be a
"he" at all, as I've never noticed any clues about gender; indeed, our
E.Liddell could be a Chesire cat with opposable thumbs. The E maybe
stands for Euphonious, a good cat name; or perhaps is an allusion to the
letter E at Delphi?
Alas, I have been found out! I'm actually an advanced android in the
form of a cat, who was ditched in the street after the world conquest
plans of the scientist who created me failed to pan out. And who needs
opposable thumbs, anyway? Get the right kind of keyboard, and you
can type with your tail. Unlike flesh-and-blood cats, I don't even need
minions to open cans for me. ;)
I knew it was a cat!
(It's much more amusing to see to see what
theories people come up with
about me than to tell the bland and boring truth.)
Definitely a male cat. Needs to be neutered.
My own guess
is that he might use the same address for something else
besides our mailing list, or that his name or address is similar enough
to an actual spammer, and gets him marked as spam because he got on some
master list used by Google, Zoho and others. Or something like that.
This is a fairly old email account (from the gmail semi-closed beta days)
that I use mostly for lists. I can think of several reasons why Google
might be uncomfortable with it, but if I had to guess, they're just ticked
off that I've figured out how to avoid seeing their ads even if logged in
through the website (and I can't remember the last time I even did that).
Or it's the DKIM thing again.
I should probably switch this list over to my non-gmail account, but I'm
suffering from a chronic shortage of round tuits.

The longer one has an email account, I think, the more spam it attracts, and
the more likely it is to get put on somebody's list.
