I share your distrust of giving financial info on-line anymore GG. A certain amount of shopping is done by calling the 800 phone number and putting my order in there after consulting the site.

Did have to register for the AKA national using PayPal because I procrastinated in registering. A while back, someone tried to use my PayPal account for a $750 purchase and PayPal effectively blocked them. That leaves me verrrrry edgy about putting anything more sensitive than "partially change the water more often" on-line. Surely am grateful to them for their diligence.

Did those spammers use your name or addy in their spamming? That is also one of the things, though a different issue, which drives me crazy. Several of us, on a fishy mailing list since '97, have had our names and e-mail addresses "spoofed" on spam. Indeed two old mailing lists have folded because of invasive spam. Hate to dump all the old addies; unclescott would become unclescott2547372@godzillanet.com ;)

We rolled in from the great crowded East about an hour and a half ago. Good to be back and good to see you back GG. Tomorrow, right after an oil change, must run up to the good soul who is babysitting the convention purchases we (yep, by me AND my bride!) made at the AKA convention. Boy, do I owe that gentleman big-time!
