Mine is in my profile

However, the rest of them prefer you use the yahoo email address for them.....I can understand why. I have the luxury of ignoring emails that come through my profile if I choose to. I don't normally use the yahoo account just because I detest webmail pretty much, and yet, ironically Outlook and Outlook Express may be looking at disappearing sometime in the future and webmail will be all anybody will have because it's faster than POP3 email. Then it will be left up to some stupid ISP out there handling the webmail accounts to decide for you what's spam and what attachments you can get and what you can use your email accounts for. Lovely....as it is, anything I send to Derek and Heather as an attachment via Hotmail (if it's an .exe file) gets removed from the email so I have to zip it now to send it. What a PITA.

My sister's ISP from Ohio

does the same thing with her email from me. I have to zip up files to her, and I also can't send a link from a website using the IE toolbar anymore. I have to copy and paste it right into the message or they block it as an attachment.

There's no way to lock it at the top, Mark.

That's why we have to "bump" Lee's message up occasionally, rather than having it permanently on top, as some "bulletin board" software allows.

But most of the Moderators use a signature that contains it, like mine below, so it shouldn't be all that hard to find -- plus I'm sure your e-mail has an address book!
