I could not believe I neglected to change the subject line from "doldrums" to "correcting information." Thanks for pointing it out, "Gold." I am shaking my head over my that one!!!! I fuss and fuss when people do not change the subject line to match the subject. I want to save things and the subject line doesn't match the subject. (Or sometimes I probably don't read things that would be helpful because the subject is not something I am interested in, so I go along and merrily deleted good stuff. ) And now I've been a perpetrator!!! Please everyone forgive me, and I will be more forgiving you if you slip up in the future.
