Hi Nancy,

hehe.. I can keep track of where I am pretty much just using bbs commands.. but
if I was using offline technology, it would be easy pretty much. I just have to
count on my not messing up the messages numbers to mark where I am, if you know
what I mean.. :)  This bbs program has a good search command as well, and that
helps find messages to and from "me".

Yes, they are incredibly small.. I wonder how the industry gets away with
things like that.. (can you say Big Pharma (grin))... anyway, I think my eyes
are getting tired from programming Lol..  it was way to small for me.. I'm
near-sighted and even though the doc tells me my eyes have improved.. well, I
still have to wear contact lenses to see where the heck I'm going Lol.

Yep, it can be I guess.. if you use a lot of it.. but this idea reminds me of
an article I recently read about gluten.. and how it is just plain bad for
"people"..This fellow meant all people.. Well that seems kind of extreme :) but
there are people I think that do have problems with it and don't realize it's
the cause.

That article was a shocker for me, if it is accurate.. then again
/* rant mode on /*
that's the trouble with all of these "studies" and articles on the
internet..more than every before I feel I have to tell people to not believe
everything you read on the internet..sometimes I wonder if some housewife (not
to demean women here haha) saw some result in her kitchen and felt she had to
write an article about it for her job (laugh).

Well it's just all $$ to them.. and now that I think about it, same with the
gluten industry..

Yep, it was worth all the shoulder pain from the drum sling.. which is why I
loved more playing in bands (grin).

Take care,
Janis
