Doug Doug Douggy.....of course Nobody knows how this Email crap works.......YOU made it soooooo simple when we started 5 years ago, that we've forgotten our Names and passwords and forgot about the stuff at the bottom for vacation and........ You oughta make us put our Name/Password in once a month to verify our Email address is still an Active Address. BUT that's more work for you....and we like you too much to put that on your plate.
