Carol, Love your sense of humor! I'm beginning to think you and I are the only two people left on this list. I hope the high-speed internet companies work this out soon!

And here I always thought 'Excite' on the internet was a porn site!!

If you're not aware, EXCITE@home was the high-speed internet provider to about 4 million subscribers, including 850,000 on AT&T. A federal judge allowed Excite to "pull the plug" midnight Saturday if it couldn't negotiate with cable providers, such as Cox, Comcast and AT&T. Excite and AT&T negotiations broke down and AT&T stopped service early Saturday. So if you are sending messages to anyone with home.com (as with Sue, our "listmom") in their address, you may get them bounced back. Don't worry, though - you should be hearing from her soon, if you haven't already, under a different address and provider - at least until AT&T gets back online! > > The following URL will provide more info.
