She or he has to delete the ones that are on the digest. This started on Polk Co Ga as well and they were sending thirty or more a day. Sorry, I am for the reserch and Al Hunt had a chat room . The chat room also was for research. If you had no resaech to add on a certain night You had no reason to come into the room, .as it only held about 15 members at a time. Sorry, I press the delete button many times and it gets boring when this begans to happen on a lot of sites. Blessings for the day..
