I am resorting to the "big board" again, Steffi, to ask the question that I THOUGHT I sent to you three times at the pm, i.e., have you received my e-mails? I just want to know that this mode of communication is "working" since I am uncertain as to the "certainty" of my private messaging!!!! At least if I know that the e-mails are reaching you, then, I will feel that
there is a sure way to be in contact. I'm sure that all who have read these many "dunce-like" messages of mine...especially those who have tried to help me...Curious...JO55...and you, too, Steffi would never believe that I am college educated...and one might question the advantage of having that "piece of paper" that validates such education...I think that I, myself, have reached that point!!! I have to say that I've never felt so stupid in my entire life...but, then, there's a time and place for everything!!!
Okay, Steff...just need to know about the e-mails...a line of two will do...even a word or two, e.g., "yes"..."no". If you have not received my e-mails, then they must be out there in cyberspace because they haven't been returned to me which is the usual thing when an e-mail cannot reach its destination. Someone else could just be having a laugh or two...and I suppose that's "ok", too, but I'd rather that the intended recipient..YOU, STEFFI, be the one who is laughing!!! Do you see what lengths I will pursue to be able to be in contact with you? I even "open myself up" to all here on this forum at the risk of being deemed STUPID!!!

Okay...I'll just wait to see what evolves from this dissertation...........
