I would have done that except for the fact that this is the result of 
somebody in a school system who is running the computers and has no idea 
of what is going on.  I see a lot of this.  The person who subscribed to 
the forum has enough trouble and doesn't need any more.  Remember, a 
public school is the only place in the whole universe where you can be 
an elementary gym teacher and be responsible for 2000 computers.  I sent 
the school an e-mail about the problem.  They will probably shoot the 
person who is subscribed to the forum.  In far too many schools learning 
about computers is an offence.
