All good and true. I will explore some of these options further.
I did suspect inter platform trouble (as mentioned in a previous
post of mine) so am pleased you also think this. Asking the host
co seems the simplest thing - but it means going via my client
and proving more bothersome than I want to appea.
[I bother alt.html and you all bother me and it is a nice
bothersome acceptable relationship. But business is different, I
have to appear more sane and just another regular earthling.]
A kind soul has or is helping out with a script and I am bit
interested in having a sure fire technique to deal with it on
hand... this is early days in this long war against my ghosts,
you can never judge by a few early lost battles...
