| Hi Stephanie ))
I know what you mean. I just posted here to Janers. When I pushed send to
group it went from hotmail to my Rogers send box , which showed one email.
So hmmm , not to be outdone I pressed send again and it said sending 8
messages. Now I see Janers made it to group but where did the other seven go
and what were they?
Now not only me has bad memory
Bruce On. " here and there me thinks))

When it says "Hit the send key" it does not mean with a 14lb hammer
