Hi onyx. I'm glad to know someone else had that same experience. I think it was the servers back in those days. They crashed every now and again, and sometimes we had to reset our passwords. I think that problem went away when the servers stabilized. Not really sure of this, though.
BTW, can you believe we've been hanging around this forum for about 10 years now? Amazing.
I was using WebTV, so I had a lot of trouble. Once I got a computer, I never had trouble again and with a new e-mail address, I signed on as onyx. Using WebTV, I used my own first name --- not a good idea.
