I _knew_ it. Once they switched to paid subscriptions, their maintenance and quality of service would decline. Sure, the “owners” of this Board have probably hauled off to Paraguay with _our_ money and are laughing at all of us right now. You see? That’s how they get you !!! Seriously - it’s nice to be back and it’s good to see all the folks in this thread.
