birthday, sexual preference, or anything else. I, for one, have no
qualms about answering prying questions with gibberish - not to
mislead, just to give them their"required" answers. (And you know,
now that I'm over 40, my mind isn't as sharp as it once was -
sometimes I forget my zip code and birthdate (;-} )
Don,
I was faced with another side of this dilemma. I had always used my
email ID (reike) in egroups. Now in Yahoo I find that someone else
already has my id so I am forced to be sailman58.

conforms to an acceptable format. If you want to be a 104 year old
woman who lives in Death Valley, so be it.

You don't have to go to you favorites to get to the Bolger web page, you
can drag the e icon that looks like a page in the address bar when you have
the Bolger group address in that box to the desk top and you have a short
cut that takes you right to the Bolger site, direct. Don

Carron,
No need to leave us. All I had to do to convert was click on the
"welcome eGroup" link (upper left), and give my old user ID and
Password. Then I signed in with my email address (which eGroups had as
well) and checked the "Remember my..." box.
My old Bolger BOOKMARK / FAVORITE entry still works as well.
Stick around.
