Well, we like to let the developers know that the newest-offered beta is at least up and running. :) I posted right away that I was having no problems, just as you did. I don't run any plug-ins, or any anti-spam software whatsoever. And, I don't have the habit of looking in the directory each time I change versions. I may now just take a peek there before posting "all is well." :) >> So--even though I imposed on our friendship, Natasha, by citing >> your post--I appreciate immensely the sweet spirit in which you >> have replied to my comment. > Fear not.
