Since I don't use the RW pages often, answer two questions, PLEASE - what is DNS and how would it be different? #2 what is "black listing"? or what does it mean? Dan, lots of us old fuddy duddy's are slow at learning the meanings of these initialed things standing for something. My husband had an artist friend in AZ who used LOL in every sentence - took us a long time to learn she "laughed out loud"! frequently. . . . . By the way, the artist mentioned above claimed her grandmother was "Kickapoo" and they lived in the northern Indiana area where I know the Miami and Pottawatami Indians roamed that country prior to settlement by the European settlers, can anyone tell me if "Kickapoo" was also an Indian tribe? The artist signed her work as "Cheyn" (birth name was Bonnie given to her by a grandpa who said she was a "Bonnie of a lass" which says they had to be part Irish! and many of her paintings was representative of "The Trail of Tears" - she was (she died in Jan. 2003 from heart troubles) a fantastic artist with such spiritual feelings.

Just keep watch. We will hope the new numbers wont be a problem. DNS is the sever number and blacklisted is a spam control by 3 I think main places where all our e-mail goes through to get to us.
