Thanks Jack & Mike! That was interesting and I learned something. NOW I remember reading about that somewhere, but it never occurred to me in this case. I'll remember it from now on though, thanks to you guys. Great input! Now why didn't I trust that the first time? D'oh! Of course there was no directory for images, but ... that's OK, I think I see what's up now. If my responses seem out of the timeline, it's something in the backbones here in NY: both groups and mails are occasionally going through long i/o queues, but at least they're being delivered. I think someone's updating servers "out there" somewhwere. So no need to suggest my clock is wrong<g>.
