I've changed the subject line. It has nothing to do with my question with
my original post, that no one seems to have any answer to, what file
"image# 1" is looking for.

This bloody email has now been blocked *twice*.

So, you're your own hosting, as well as personal, provider.

Please - I can't email some of my Congresscritters or Senators, here in

I appreciate your response. There's also a slight distance... and I figure
that the CIA and the FBI would have the successor to Carnivore staring at

You're doing a really professional job. There's way too many over here who
don't have a clue, other than "I'll get rich!!!"
