An Important Announcement (and a Spot of Trouble in the Digital Realm)

Well, hello there, fellow Wagnerians! Fred here, penning a quick note from the (presently slightly frazzled) digital heart of The Wagnerian.

Now, you know how much we love to connect with you, sharing all the latest insights, musings, and perhaps a well-placed anecdote or two about the Master himself. However, it seems that even in our pursuit of seamless operatic discourse, technology can occasionally throw a spanner in the works.

It appears that the recently mentioned, shall we say, "enthusiastic" migration of our email systems has led to a rather vexing issue. And, dare I say, the chap responsible – a certain Nibelung, who, bless his cotton socks, sometimes exhibits the concentration span of a gnat during the Rhine Journey – may have, just perhaps, introduced a tiny, weeny, misstep.

The upshot of this minor digital dramedy is that our recent replies to your wonderfully insightful emails might, by some unfortunate twist of fate, be finding their way into your spam folders. Yes, I know, the indignity of it all! Our carefully crafted missives, intended to illuminate and engage, relegated to the digital equivalent of a forgotten dusty corner.

So, if you've been patiently awaiting a reply from us recently, please, I implore you, take a quick peek in that often-dreaded spam folder. We have replied, truly! We're not ignoring you, honest.

We are, of course, working tirelessly to rectify this little snafu, and we anticipate that normal service should be resumed within the next 24 hours. Your patience and understanding in this matter are, as always, deeply appreciated. We apologise most profusely for any inconvenience this may cause.

Right, I'm off to have a stern word with Nibungens and perhaps suggest a rigorous course of focus-enhancing exercises. Wish me luck!

Yours in the pursuit of all things Wagnerian (and a functioning email system!),

Fred Oswald, Assistant Editor, www.the-wagnerian.com
