Thanks! I didn't know if I was getting too overboard with it or not. I didn't think I was. I am seriously fed up with spam!! I get at least 50 / day in. Of course, at this point, part of that is my fault for not deleting my address that gets the majority of it - I guess. We shouldn't have to change our addresses to get rid of it!!
