          Chris stated it about a week ago. 'Course it's just a bit ludicrous to on the one hand state that CP has a million users and then expect that everyone read a single post lost in a "lounge" forum.

            If you follow the, link that was posted above... it's a post from Chris... what Chris says - goes. I know it's hard to get a message to 1 million users - but do not accuse someone who is trying to pass that message on to you - of making up their own rules. In other words… do not shoot the messanger. ------------------------- Matthew R. Miller www.computersmarts.net[^]

                    There is no big deal. I'm not bothered, although it did kind of clutter things up for a while. Reminder to self: Remember the smilies, remember the smilies.... :-O

                      I see, well I was given my orginal invite on CP, so I figured the honorable thing to do was to offer some of the invites I received on CP. Jeremy Falcon

                        That was me! I think I gave it to you long back.:) "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."

                              No problem. I've got a ton of invites (being pretty high in the chain, I got mine really early from a friend that works in google). But have kept quiet since I didn't want to get in on the mild war that's going on. "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."
