RHONDA & ALL:
I did see them, but to tell you the truth, I am out of town with my grown
daughter who recently had surgery, and I'm using my laptop and until
recently, I was getting my emails via my remote online isp ... anyway, just
yesterday/last night is when i finally got my "gotomypc.com" acct going
(that I use when out of town), and not only did all these extra emails to
this list come thru, but apprx 500+ others, that were downloading for the
first time since i've been gone from home the last few days.... so when he
first mentioned it, I didnt think of it right away, because they all came in
(to me) with the other 500+ emails of my own from other people/places...
sorry I didnt 'get it' right away, what he was referring to.
Yes, it was alot of emails, and I, like you, also just DELETED quickly when
I saw no connection to me, except the KINGERY one ...she is probably some
distant cousin to me, so I saved her :)
Thanks for your suggestions and comments.
TINA
