Christine, Since we have some subbers in common on our lists, I have a quick comment on old e-mail accounts. PLEASE do not just walk away from them. If at all possible, before you leave an account, delete all the people on the address list and close the account. It is a lot of the old accounts that still have addresses and are still technically open but not used that are so susceptible to hacking. Sweep those old accounts clean please and close them. It is rare that you can't do that, but it can happen.
