Yikes! Let me see how I addressed those last couple e-mails, Carl! Then I may need to do some more malware, spyware, and ati-virus scans! Thanks for the info! I'll continue to look into it. Sounds like some more scans and digging may be in order! Thanks and have a good da! Charlie -Origi

Thanks, Carl Well, I received this e-mail from you 2X - because you addressed it to me and also to "topband". I often do the same if I want to communicate something to you, that I think might be worth sharing with others on the reflector. Have you ever seen any of my posts more than 2X? Thanks a
