===========================================
Sorry, I'm a bit slow on replies, I have now picked up 'flu' on top of
COPD so I'm spending most of my time in bed.
Everything is a BIG effort for the last couple of days.
I knew what you meant about not making friends (but making friends),
you had already mentioned that you like the 'alt.binaries.movies.xvid'
group for the conversation and friendly people in there.
IF and WHEN you are certain that you want to get rid of that account,
then I will take it off your hands, like you said... it would be a
shame to waste it.
Also, if you changed your mind in the future and wanted it back, then
I would hand it back.
I never even considered NOT trusting you. :)
