Canadian Finance Blog

Posted: 16 Jan 2011 02:00 AM PST

As I mentioned in my Friday Links post, I had a odd thing happen with emails sent from my server. It turns out that it saved them all up since late November and then blasted them all out on Thursday.

So while this has given me quite a few contact form emails to go through, it also will have flooded the inboxes of all the regular submitters to Canadian Finance Carnival. So I apologize for that and will keep my eye on my emails to try to catch it sooner if it happens again.
