I am sorry I don't want to argue about these things. A Nifty thing you could tell
me is how to get NEtscape to turn plaintext into HTML, so I can respond to
friendship invitations. I thought it could and I double checked here and there
and nothing. A pointer would be helpful. NO! I wouldn't send you orange messages
unless you said: "Yes Go ahead!!!"
Have Fun,
Sends Steve
