Well, son of a gun!! I didn't read the fine print, but the above is
absolutely 200% OK with me. 8-)))
What on earth made you check Motzarella out?? And I will say that it is
a lot better than "aioe"....which is down a lot of times. I also have a
free "read only" one to make sure I am getting all of the posts. And I
am.
Thanks, Ms Laura.......I think. I am not quite sure why you are
pointing this out, to be honest.
Cheers....Heather
