Uh...y'all--Dale and Luke--I don't know much about vandalism, but I think there's a reason Anu stopped using that "at" sign in the newsletter, etc. Isn't that one of the things that people set up their bots, spiders, or whatever to look for? I fear y'all're askin' to be inundated with spam.

Good advice. Won't do it again. Probably will get lots of spam now, sorry. Did not know it was a 'forbidden' in the forum. I'd erase it now if I could. Is there away, I guess I will just have to live with it.

PS>
Can such info be listed in the private message section should one choose? (I presume that is above under "my stuff" ?

I have the edit button located. (I am very new to computer use
and appreciate the help). I have tried to edit, but am getting no where> I struck out the email address, but that seems to be all I can do. Any suggestions?

eta, it's been my experience that with raw rookies you can't assume they'll grasp what terms like 'select' and 'delete' mean...

I'm sorry, tsuwm. As a 'raw rookie" I am only trying to learn.
When I go back to my original posting, there is no select or delete anywhere on the screen. I do need the help.

select and delete are common editing terms. if you compare any of your posts with any other post you'll note that you have an edit button on yours. but you've discovered that. when you click the edit button, you get your post back in an edit box. by placing the flashing cursor anywhere in the edit box with your mouse (click the left mouse button to fix the insertion point) you can then insert additional text at that point, or you can delete text at that point (using the delete or backspace keys).
you can also use the mouse to select a whole string of text. this is done by holding down the left mouse button while dragging it (the mouse, that is) across the text you want to highlite (select). think of using a yellow marker in a book. when you have some text selected in this manner, you can type to replace it or just use the delete key to remove it.
