I bought my own modem a few years back when I realized I would be money ahead in less than a year not paying the rental. In your situation that might not be the best plan! Greg -Original Message- From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of Buggered Benzmail via

I have a Browning BPS pump in 12 ga. 3 1/2" magnum. I got stopped once by the wildlife cops in BC who had a hard time believing it only would hold 3 standard 12 ga. shells, but his gauge proved it. Greg -Original Message- From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf

The *spam* is generated by the okie server or ISP, suspicious of my .space domain I guess. I was surprised recently to see one msg got through without the spam notice. I imagine it could be whitelisted if someone got ambitious. Greg -Original Message- From: Mercedes
