Sorry Amber,
I will never figure out the writer of some posts because of the way this
board
is set up.
I also wonder where some of my posts disappear to. Sometimes it takes
till the next day for them to appear and some never appear.
I will have to stop putting brackets around the DOT im my email
because that seems to override the window where I type my name for some
reason.
