The original, which was nearer the top than this one and should have been more obvious, is here. Check it out; you'll see why I wonder sometimes if I should bother spending so much time putting all those links in. Link fixed. Gee, Malcolm, sometimes I wonder why I bother! --JoeClone, 25-Apr-02. |

Incidentally, Deni, error messages when starting a new thread aren't all that uncommon, and are often misleading. What I do is open a new browser window to see if the thread has appeared in the Forum; usually it has, but if not, I give it a few minutes and then try again. Generally works. |
