Our newsletter emailing program is outdated and no longer works with our server software, which is why there was no newsletter last night. We have to update our newsletter delivery system, so it seems like a good time to ask a few questions and make the changes useful in addition to just maintenance. You're welcome to add other thoughts or suggestions in comments, too!

I'm sure I'm about to discover I forgot the most important question.

Thanks for the responses, folks. If you haven't already guessed, our newsletter mailing system is still down. I'm in a holding pattern between the server and the mailing list software techs as they pass the problem back and forth. Hopefully will get this resolved shortly!

We're back up!

Turns out a bunch of the email texts came through funky. It almost looks like mailing in plain text is going to be harder than mailing in html, which makes absolutely no sense at all. Huh.

Anyway, we're getting close, should be heading back to normal next week.

I just read Dave comments on Ageless Growth and niacin causing flusing.

As a pharmacist I would like to add that taking a baby aspirin about 30 to 45 mins before taking niacin will block the itching and flushing.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) also works but not quite as well.

And it's also true that this is a self-limiting reaction which means in 10 to 14 days it will greatly diminish on it's own as the body adjusts to the niacin dose.

Hey, Dave, thanks for this! I'm going to copy it over to the Ageless Growth thread here and also on Dave's QnA. Appreciate it!

Now that we're back in action on the newsletter, I'm here to tell you, building the spiffier html-style newsletter takes a LONG time, and in this case didn't turn out very well. I didn't know what to expect, but was thinking *if* it turned out well, people would like it and even those who chose text format in the poll might like the newsletter with pictures.
Given all that effort for such a funky result, my guess is we'll revert to old style and please the 56% who asked for text.

And... save me at least a couple hours a week in the process. So... okay then!
