Thanks, Mike..I don't have my server or T1 access so all I could do was
subscribe under a newly created gmail account and since then, it's all
good. Yahoo is the one giving me trouble so I am now axeing(sp?) them out
of the list. Thanks, Michael in San Antonio.
P.S. The women don't even have to REALLY attractive if the beer is cold!
