Hello from Gregg C Levine
Okay. I'll agree with you on that notion, Christopher. No real arguement
there. Now as to about those messages? Are those actual messages? I'm
inclined to think not. And I'll be permanently deleting them from my message
store. I also reported the initial example to those cloddies at Earthlink,
I'll be surprised if they know what to do.
