While on my cruise last week, my PM box reached 100 (again) and I exported them to my laptop's desktop with the default name. I had multiple web pages opened and when I started shutting them down I found the EXPORT page still open. I figured I must have not clicked on the EXPORT button earlier so I did it again. Before I realized what was going on I answered YES to OVERWRITE. I overwrote a good export with a blank export and therefore lost about 30 PMs I hadn't read yet. :(

I'm afraid some of those that wrote me PMs are going to think I'm a real jerk (instead of a klutz). I have no way of knowing who wrote me and some of them may have been "newbies". :(

So if any of you have written to "Smoke" and have not gotten a reply ... that is the explanation. Sorry.
:eek:

Its OK Smoke, everyone of advanced age occasionally suffers from "HUPA" syndrome.

HUPA = Head Up Axx

I had a very severe case of it yesterday.

BTW...how was the cruise? I've been trying to get my wife to go on one.

Yep, I've been known to have a bout of CRIS from time to time myself. :Q :p


(CRIS = Cranial Rectal Inversion Syndrome) ;)

Oh, Smoke, I had sent you a PM about some $$ I was sending your way, and needed a quick reply. Since I didn't hear from you, I sent it on to someone else. Sorry...:p
