I have another question
Email me your questions at
Michael_Halpenny@hotmail.com and I will answer it as best as I can. If it is good enough I might even include it on this page.
Finally and very importantly when you are replying to a message please make sure to
EDIT your message.
Only quote the parts of the message to which you are replying and erase the trailers at the end of the message
as another set will be added on. This keeps down the size of messages while also making
them more readable.
I hope that you enjoy the group.
Michael
