   Not sure who to write to anymore since all of this new format has me having to think about something other than my research projects — which I can do later on, — but wanted to inform EVERYONE where there used to be the green(?) THANKS! box (or what ever) that the small problem I used to have in Yahoo Mail with changing font or highlight color has gone from the multiple second-takes-two-clicks to where I last wrote: a double click on the color and a few seconds of wait down to seamless — the colors are there when I click on them — just as if I were not using Ghostery at all — and when I went to up-date which I had forgotten since it is now hidden inside a menu, everything was up to-date, and that the BLOCK ALL COOKIES options which I think is in Beta stage, has proved NO PROBLEM at all, I DID find one more sight — so that makes 3 sights that don’t work out of the in the mid ten-thousands which do. And they are sites which I probably wouldn’t want to go to anyway, they just popped up on Google when I was checking a National Library of Medicine abstract against some data I ran across on the web — So, given the choice between the NLM inside the National InstituteS of Health and three sites, two of which looked like they wanted to sell me a miracle Cure of unstated ingredients (with the exception that each one started with the word “pure”, “organic”, “real” or “authentic”) and looked to be followed by followed by “Discovered by Ancient Indian Shamen”, “As used by the Wise [insert a meaning 'Holy, Sacred, and Astutely Perceptive] First Peoples”, or simply “Sacred, divine, sanctified and hallowed”— Indians, the kind with the North Eastern buckskins, the Plains war bonnet, the Southwestern gourd rattles and the eternal and absolutely sacred division of labor rather than the OTHER kind that must be the ‘Digger Indians’ since they “dig in the dirt like dogs for their food” (Dr. Lesley Scott (pretty sure, my grad adviser recommend that I drop her class and take it again over summer school since she and I had some words in class about her “Classification System” of various American First People Cultures (not that I could argue with the “coconut eating monkey faced Aztecs who tried to enslave and kill even the Sacred and Holy Spanish Priests” (honest!), University of Nevada Reno, School of Education 1976) – and then the problem was that the pages had two problems, sometimes simultaneously — 1) they would freeze upon load, 2)they DID freeze once loaded, and 3) they failed to have a working ‘back’ button and I’d have to kill the page (using, either the modern day sneaky equivalent of Ctrl+Alt+Dell or the much quicker White Man Way: click the on-off button on the power surge protector switch which is the modern day equivalent of “[standing] over their graves till I’m sure they are dead. . .” poor paraphrase of Bob (AKA Blind Boy Grunt) Dylan in Masters of War. So I consider the problem with the colors absolutely fixed, and the pages locking up on me, THEIR karma, not mine – after all – it gives me a chance to refill my cup of coffee since my MS word is set to background save every 1 minute or so (the HD price of a lot of rain and snow and steep slopes with tall conifers.

   So don’t know where to post problems — or to say GOOD WORK! when you have it due and coming your way.

   thanks a million for a good program like this. Still looking for that site that has all our data on it – I sure thought it was somewhere on your site — where they even had a photograph of my next door neighbors house when they tried to show my house!!!!!! if you know it, ship it off to my e-mail address — Oh – if it’s still up and around, can I use your creation of Nanook, the Dog of Laser Eyes?

     > “a photograph of my next door neighbors house when they tried to show my house”

     Just saw this comment, Doc. Yes, you can totally use the image of your own dog with lasers!
