Then I know who it was from because he literally said in his PM:

"I did a ton of posting today to get over the 50 posts to use email limit just so I can send you this message, so please at least consider it."

I just wanted to make sure it was a "push" of some kind used to force open my PMs or the site itself. According to my computer geek husband, "push" type emails/PMs can be used to send malware or crack passwords. So, I was just double checking.

Anyway, thanks for that info.

(I had to alter my message because it had MIRT stuff in it. Forgot where I was posting. Sent you a PM about it.)
