Thanks for the info! And of course I will check out the local library

Yeah, I use GG because I can't install (nor would I) newsreader app at
my job. It's not *that* important. And at home, well I used to use
Forte Agent but I no longer have time at home like I used to. So if
people miss my posts because of filtering, well I'll just have to live
with that. ;-)
