Bruce,
Thanks for the response.
Yes, I have ask.libreoffice.org bookmarked also. It is another
resource. This forum has benefited me in the past, and I prefer to
stay with it. As I said, I have been away for about 2 years and I
was not sure what had happened to the forum in that time. I have
spent the last year off-and-on trying to sign up again through my
at&t/yahoo email provider, but my subscription requests have been
going into a black hole. I never even got the subscription
confirmation replies. I suspected the problem was with at&t/yahoo
again, similar to 2 years ago, so I had a friend, who was not with
at&t/yahoo, test the subscription process and it worked for him.
That was when I had proof that the problem was with at&t/yahoo. I
suspect they are blacklisting this forum for whatever reason, but
they never told me they were doing it. I am in the process of
shutting down my at&t/yahoo email service and, as you can see in the
header, I am in the process of switching to FastMail. They seem to
be working fine.
Thanks again and take care.

f.
Felmon,
Yes, but the effect of this at&t/yahoo policy is to censure their
customers. at&t had never informed me of this policy. I had to figure
it out from the unusual silence I was experiencing. These at&t/yahoo
policies are not in my interests, so I am dumping at&t/yahoo as soon as
I can.
Thanks for the link. It was enlightening.
Thanks.
Girvin
