ok, I've been reading the questions and answers thinking that the one I have would show up. So far, it hasn't, so I guess I'll have to ask it........ :o) In those classifications, where should the post go if it's something like "oh, those are my people, too, contact me." or, "I'm going there next week and will look for you." I wish we had something like "comment" or some such............
