Okay so I am just a nearly 50 year old woman here who's career has
been raising children, not highly intelligent but not thick as a brick
either. If I'm getting what your saying and reading between the lines
correctly... I would take a stab at he answer my best bet would be
that it has something to do with post from NewsBin... correct?
(pleeeeeease say yes)! BUT, if I am correct, how would that fix the
download? Hmmmm thinking here... maybe to actually download it from
NewsBin? I remember you trying to tell me about the "trash lines" it
was leaving when I posted. My problem was within NewsBin it doesn't
sort things out nearly as well as Agent (thank you so much for the
suggestion by the way) and I couldn't see what you were referring to.
It wasn't until I downloaded Agent that I saw the "trash lines". Soooo
if someone using NewsBin never took your suggestion and actually
downloaded Agent they may never see them.
Okay so my essay is complete :-)
Please go on and tell me how close or far off base I am please...
