Think it would have to be quite a big box. there are all us nutters that come on the topics boards and then there are the hundreds that are just updating their tree. Take ages to search that lot lol

I am often on a local site which has a chat board. Next to your name is a little circle - blue = off and red = online. Jane

Kerry, Good idea - there is no madness in the Hayes family; The more I think about it, the more uneasy I become. Does EVERYONE want to be so transparent. It seems a bit like ID cards, if you have nothing to hide then you can,t possibly be against them. Or can you? Sorry to be a wet blanket, although I think more people will agree with you rather than my cynical approach. happy days

Glad you don`t think I`m mad then! Just an idea roaming around in my head LOL! As I know how annoying it is when you send a message to someone and you don`t get a reply. You don`t know if they are away,haven`t checked for a while or are just ignoring you!LOL
