Hi folks, Before things get too hysterical... "Platinumsoul79" seems to have been a frustrated fool who is apparently gone from the list now. The following is his profile from aol: Member Name: Supa D My Under Construction Webpage --> http://hometown.aol.com/pla tinumsoul79/index.html Location: Pineville/Alexandria, LA USA Sex: Male Marital Status: Single, Not Looking Hobbies: Writing Poetry....Dreaming About The Future.... Computers: Compaq Presario Occupation: ......... Don't Let The Brain Interfere With The Heart <-- Albert Einstein Personal Quote: "When you're young, you can't wait for time to pass by and you only wish for it to go by quicker; but as you grow to become older, you beg for time to stand still and for time to slow down." I REALLY don't think this is Ben Mertens!!! LOL The complication came in when a virus apparently attached itself to Ben's email program and was sent back to the list as a response to Platinumsoul79's request for removal. I don't know why the posters today did not see Ben's letter to the list which explained that and apologized for it. Perhaps they deleted the letters without reading them -- which, under the virus circumstance, may have been the wise thing to do. It all seems to be an unfortunate coincidence. I accept Ben's explanation and apology; I also am relieved that Platinumsoul79 has gotten his wish to be removed from the list. Now let's bury it all and get back to our harmonious research. :-) By the way, I was also confused by the warning not to "d/l" the letters. I at first thought this meant "don't delete them," but now I believe it meant "don't download them." Is that correct? Best to all, Rhonda
