Happy birthday list! And thank you for all your work Mark.
1991- jeez, I was a junior in high school then.
I'm still trying to figure out how to get all the messages to show up in my
inbox. Some do, others go to a "promotions" folder or a spam folder (what
a dark, strange place that is!). But I'm still here and reading the
messages I can find.
