Barb it is fun to help people. I know someone who is getting paid for helping and they want others to do the work. Even worst than that, they are giving a good sounding report, but it is not accurate. When the person attempted to get me to help them and I discovered what they were doing, I just stop helping that person. I just hope that person caught on. \o/ \o/ \o/ ---TRHALSTEAD@aol.com wrote: > > Hi Everyone: > > Just a comment about Barb Thomas being billed for receiving help. > If the person or persons sending out something expects pay for it, > that should be stated before sending it out. > > This, to me, is one of the big enjoyments of this, and that is to > share things with each other, without cost.
