~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello -
There is no question today, since this weekend saw a complete meltdown of my PC. I lost the October Rankings, the saved future questions and more importantly, my address book.
I had backed it up, but hadn't updated the back-up in awhile (I know, I know). So, the one I am using today is seriously out of date.
If you wish to keep receiving the Trivia of the Day emails, I NEED you to reply and let me know. I need to rebuild the address book with only those people who want to receive the emails.
If you DO NOT wish to receive any more emails from me, just delete this and forget it.
I am sorry for the confusion and for the loss of the October rankings.
Hope to hear from you!
Joe
