so if anybodies been reading my user sig, you know I’ve got a broken collar bone and my proofreading has suffered for it. No big deal, I’m on the mend and the flowers you sent are much appreciated. But I changed my sig, mostly due to boredom (I’ve been on the internet alot), and I notice that it changes my sig back through all the posts I’ve ever made. I guess the software stores the the thread content with a minimal user tag and then connects with a user profile when reconstituting a thread for display. I can see where that would save memory space. Froody
