Thanks from me too Spencer. I like the fact that it
doesn't allow html. That is great since that has been
such a bone of contention in the past. Now we don't
have to argue about html anymore! Of course there are
some old grouches that don't like this but they will
either have to live with it or leave.
Thanks again,
Tim Bivens
Glen Rose, Tex.
