Hello,
And Dan I am sorry I used reply to all; that is the only way I know to
reply to everyone.
Thank you all for your input and I will just let this go unless
someone on one of the lists asks about the site or mentions they use
the site.
Sometimes we need a little feedback; so thanks again for taking the
time to respond.
Sincerely,
Ramona

| If they are really linking to other sites, and locking
(shrinkwrapping)

source

identified as
