Are you checking email more frequently now?

My goodness no.

I'm as excited as the next person for MSFS, but c'mon - "changing email habits in case the Alpha invite comes?" - 

Seriously?  lol

Why check it, when I'll get a notification if something is there? Other than another email from a Suadi Prince willing to ship me $2,000,000 in diamonds

You too huh?

All I have to do is first send THEM a Western Union payment for $15,000 -- then they'll send me the $2mil in diamonds.

Great deal, 'eh?

But if you open the account by monday you get a free toaster too. Lol

OK I got the two million in diamonds. But how do I get them them out?

How did they arrive?

I think you want to press eject on the Zip Drive

I didn't change any habits but I do feel some excitement suddenly every time I see that I have a new e-mail. Normally I only get this with bigger events like waiting for the confirmation that I can go and pick up an expensive purchase (new PC, new car), so this game must trigger me somehow in a way no other game (or sim) ever did. It also makes me realize how much junk mail I get that I normally don't even notice. 

It's good to see that other people, who normally don't show any interest in flight simulators, can get excited about this title also though. I think that if they pull this off they may really revolutionize the flight sim market. 

I don't simply because my email client does that automatically every 5 minutes! It runs 24/7/365 unless there's a power outage and my backup UPS's battery runs low and shuts down the computer automatically!

NO. I still check it and empty it every week or two. Now that you mention it, I have noticed that my cat has been drinking a bit more water the last couple of days. That maybe is somehow connected to the mentioned MS statement.

how can you still trust an editor who has thrown you away like old socks ... even if it's microsoft...

Honestly this MSFS hype is becoming a little silly now.

Knowing flight sim users attitude to MS or the past few years your spam filter has probably deleted it 😂.  

I’m assuming this poll is satirical. I actually looked at my outlook email today for the first time in a long time. Large numbers of Microsoft emails in there, none from FSI 😞

No, NSA is checking my emails for me. I'm sure they will notify me in a way or an other if something important happens there.
