oh yeah, let  me also tell you that while you are there, ask about the
join the crew virus, and the f&q will tell you that it is a hoax. Please
get the webscan product, but do not believe the (hoax) for one minute.
Type in Macafee for its url and go there.. Please, but from now on, lets
leave virus worries to chat rooms and junk emailers, this is a giant
pumpkin mailing service, done for the betterment of giant pumpkin
techniques and its entities, not this join the crew crap.
