I thought it was somewhat worse than that. Anyway, my point is just that it might help to understand the nature of the problem. Sometimes a person who writes bothersome things might not be trying to annoy us. If a person says things that are not true, they aren't necessarily lying, and if someone offers you something that he can't supply, he wasn't necessarily trying to deceive you. So I think it helps to cool everyone down if we consider the possibility that this "paul g" is having some mental health problems and not just trying to ruin our list. Mike
