This is only a problem when we forward things to each other; we can also
forward "advertisements" that require further downloading from the
advertisers or the originator of the forwarded items website. This does not
last forever and can be a problem if, well..., if you are not attached to a
university and are paying for your internet connection. Sometimes it is
best if we cut and paste an article into our message to forgo such problems.
It is easier to cut out the junk.
Also, Jim you might want to fix you http:// address. You have a semi-colon
where a colon should be.
Over and out until next year,
Nico
