Somewhere in Costa Rica is an Internet server that doesn’t like snow.
Perhaps it was brought up in the harsh Minnesota winters. Or worse yet, somewhere in snowy Canada.
Somehow this Internet server made it to Costa Rica. But even today, in the balmy universal springtime, the computer gags whenever it meets the word snow.
At least that is the best we can figure out. Radiográfica Costarricense S.A., the beloved RACSA, says that it is not blocking e-mail. But a reader alerted A.M. Costa Rica to the fact that an e-mail message with snow in the subject line just will not go through.
We tried it multiple times. From servers in Maryland to RACSA here. From RACSA here to servers in the States. Any message with snow in the subject line simply vanished into cyberspace..
