Thanks Bill. I happen to own cavetex.net now, whoever had scarfed it up tried to sell it to me, I was patient and when they gave up and dropped it, I picked it up. It now forwards to texascavers.
Sorry I didn't call you, was middle of the day when I got the message and figured you were at work. If you still need to talk, let me know a time and I'll call you. I'm looking forward to the cave dig, never been on one :) Thanks Charles On Fri, Aug 28, 2009 at 8:16 PM, Bill Bentley<[email protected]> wrote: > Charles, > This is the guy or son of the guy who refused to acknowledge an email > from Network Solutions or lift a finger to help let me pick up the domain > www.cavetex.net when it all went away with no notice, warning or anything on > September 19, 2005.
