Wow!!! Send this out on 6/14/2011 however the event happened on 6/12/11.
We apologize if you just received a link to this article in your email, today. I did, as well and was both surprised and concerned, since the event occurred last Sunday, two days ago.
If you’ll notice, the article was posted on June 5th, a week before the event. However, I checked with our webmaster and this is what she had to say:
“When email is delayed, it has something to do with the sending server or the receiving server. It looks like this came through the Google feed. Hopefully, it is a one-time occurrence.
I just googled “google feed email delay”, it seems to be a common problem.”
So in response I have asked her to look into another, more reliable feed for sending emails of our articles.
This is the only time this has occurred since we launched this site in October and began our free subscription service shortly thereafter.
Again, we apologize and are working to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Thank you for your understanding.

It turns out that this was the second e-mail alert for this event. We first sent out a notice on June 6th, the day after the event was posted and almost a week before it took place.
