RHONDA & ALL: I did see them, but to tell you the truth, I am out of town with my grown daughter who recently had surgery, and I'm using my laptop and until recently, I was getting my emails via my remote online isp ... anyway, just yesterday/last night is when i finally got my "gotomypc.com" acct going (that I use when out of town), and not only did all these extra emails to this list come thru, but apprx 500+ others, that were downloading for the first time since i've been gone from home the last few days.... so when he first mentioned it, I didnt think of it right away, because they all came in (to me) with the other 500+ emails of my own from other people/places... sorry I didnt 'get it' right away, what he was referring to. Yes, it was alot of emails, and I, like you, also just DELETED quickly when I saw no connection to me, except the KINGERY one ...she is probably some distant cousin to me, so I saved her :) Thanks for your suggestions and comments.
