Ever hear of the term "Dutch Uncle"? You personify that, unfortunately. If the advice is good then YOU should be following it (isn't that obvious?) - From all the look of it, the only reason that this mail now shows a reutrn address of chat *before* I had to change it, is because I changed the previous one, else this would never have moved. And you can't see why this is wrong? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHh8EZz62J6PPcoOkRAmRIAJ474mgc+66+jriz2ocXMPuoVKVZrgCdHsa7 +cJkD0U2CPeBzhMe6Kd9AMo= =I66s -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
