Hi Charles,

Another one of those dead areas? I see some of my links have it, but it doesn't exist on my system.

 Wv>> Maybe you should let these dead areas R.I.P. ! ;)

 CP> They way I see it, they might get used again,

There is always someone that asks if the area is still active in those areas. :-/

Some do, but don't bother to disconnect it from their links. So if there is a message, they still get it and the area might get auto created again.

Which ever way, areas never vanish completely...

With these dead areas "the rules" don't exist anymore.


Bye, Wilfred.
