Yet another subscription. Ugh. I might do it anyway. Do I need to make a new email for it ? (because of spam)

Although I do have an idea. Ever use the search function in IE ? Could use very general search terms and let it give ne a kagillion answers and then use the browser's search function to search through that.

And if I do end up joining, what did you mean not to post through "nibbles" or whatever ? Do they frown on that like some here do on gmailers ?

I might do that, but I think for $11 it might be worth the risk to just get the one I found. On a full size keyboard, the keys are always the same space apart. They would have had to go to great lengths to make them ALL not fit each other.

Of course this will not be the last time on things like this. So I do need to expaand my rsources. thanks for the link whether I ever really join or not. I might just learn how to search it. If I do I'll let you know.

Why do blogs do that ? Sort by date but no tree. And no options. Well maybe that is all they could do. I dunno. It is more than I could do, I am a NON-programmin' mofo. And, if they accept money who knows what you can do then.
