This will be a twofer as I didn’t receive Judy’s post directly. 1. To hell with spelling your name right obeegeeba, I’m not sure sucking up to Judy is a good career move.
2. Judy, I didn’t get this post from you directly but any advice from you is always appreciated although it appears not all web sites are receiving my posts as you described. My posts come back to me in Yahoo mail without the changes you’ve found and other posters using the latest version of Yahoo mail at the Yahoo web site have confirmed they are receiving my posts without anything garbled. To quote Cliff, go figure. ________________________________ From: obbajeeba <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, August 20, 2011 1:34:13 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Managing an attractive young woman with large breasts authfriend wins the line of the day!
