Plainfield's website may be off the life-support system and finally breathing -- fitfully -- on its own, but the same cannot be said for the city's public access cable TV station, PCTV-74.
PCTV-74 has been on my daily email list since the beginning of CLIPS, and the mail has been dutifully delivered (whether or not anyone reads it) for going on three years now.
Until recently.
I began receiving 'bouncebacks' a couple of weeks ago, but paid them little mind.

It's a common problem with email lists -- AOL periodically has hissy-fits and bounces tons of emails; people change addresses without notice; and corporate filters (as in one large Plainfield organization) periodically force recipients to reconfirm.
Finally, though, I decided to do a little digging.
Checking the city's website for PCTV-74 info, I found that the email address has been changed. Easy fix. (No, you're not supposed to ask why a city operation's email address is on a public service like Gmail.)
Looking further, I find their program schedule (a PDF file, see here -- NOTE: 11:18 PM Sat.: the PDF file on the city website appears broken; see copy posted online HERE). The downloaded schedule has a heading of "July, 2007", but further checking reveals the document was actually edited in October -- though no one bothered to update the page header (consistency, after all, is the hobgoblin of small minds).
So, the cable station's information on the website is only five months stale.
In Plainfield communications, that's up-to-date.
