I have to ask, now that I've gone out to see the active content center,
what's the active part?
I mean, is it the "send feedback" option? I feel like a tard asking this,
but apparently it's not obvioius to me, and so, I'm guessing it's not
obvious to some others either.
One thing that's missing is a "last modified" date/time - how would I know
this is THE latest and greatest?
I sense that there's some peice of a puzzle I'm missing here - like a
workflow/tool I'm not using that would cause me to know for myself that this
was the latest and greatest info etc.
Thanks for your patience John,
JG
