Yes Pete, yes Stan I know about these situations: multiple subs for convenience in posting, reading from a gateway but a sub so can search the archives, etc. That is not what the person was talking about, though, she wanted a block on this person, not a convenience sub. My question was related to her questions. The meaning of my question was "what is it that you want to do? what is your goal?" Douglas
