Yeah, I thought your were a nice guy.
And yes Ed, pedantic. 

But,... anyone know how I can forward a message from one Public Folder to
another automatically while keeping the original To: address? I guess I need
a script cos I've tried lots of other ways and none of them work(s).

PS. I would rather be ruled by 'Europe' than Tony, Jaques or Silvio! And
George isn't much of a 'liberal' either, is he?

Journalists don't make any money unless they go on TV and pontificate about
insignificant things which don't upset their corporate handlers.[1] 

I thankfully don't live in a country which has to submit to EU rulings on
soccer for pigs or language rules based on 400 year old usage. So, my usage
of none and the corresponding verb agreement conforms to every example of
current proper usage I could find and I'll stick with that for the moment.

honestly expect anyone with a high school education to believe the crap they
are spouting doesn't get you too far either.

Well, nice degree to have (what you messing around with computers for, then?

And at a time when we need good journalists more than ever!) but... 

None is an abbreviated form of NOT ONE. It is always singular. Well, in GB 
English at least. Common usage may be otherwise but is still generally 
considered incorrect. 

The products to which you are referring are Countable and thus you are 
saying, "Not one of the products IS free." 
If you were referring to an uncountable, you could in modern - grammatically

dubious - English say, "None of the soup was eaten," where None here is an 
abbreviated (though dubious) form of NOT ANY. 'Properly' you would say, "Not

any of the soup was eaten." 

However, since we have the American people to thank for modern 'English', 
and English is a beautifully fluid and democratic language, I will not clip 
my children's ears for such utterances as was my fate.

I have a journalism degree with an English minor actually[1]. That's why my 
usage was spot on, even if the sentence itself was a bit of a run on. 

http://www.wisc.edu/writing/Handbook/SubjectVerb.html#none 

--- Begin Quoted Text --- 
When words like "none" are the subject 

Other words such as "none," "any," "all,"        "more," "most," and "some" 
may take either        singular or plural verbs, depending on the context. 

Some of the dollar was spent. 

Some of the dollars were spent. 

Note: here the prepositional phrase does affect the subject. It tells you 
whether you are talking about a part of one thing (singular) or about a 
number of things (plural). 
--- End Quoted Text --- 

"Them" refers to 3rd party products (plural).
