hausdok Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hi, Nah, I just happened to go over there to see if I'd missed anything and found out that the subscription alert that I've had for years hasn't been alerting me to squat for at least six months. So, I busted butt all day to catch up. Phew! Don't want to do that too often. OT - OF!!! M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
