I do recall something in the guidelines saying do not place list members' names in the subject line. I really don't want to go up to the server right now as it is time for bed so here's the deal.
Knock it off by morning or it will be time to begin removing violators, and before breakfast is quite annoying. Just a word to the wise, please take heed.

Must a person reformat a hard drive before converting from XP to 7? 2. If I have already purchased a version of Windows 7 which I have installed on a laptop, can I use that same CD to upgrade my desktop or must I buy another copy of Windows 7?
