  1. My family all the time say that I am wasting my time here at net,
    except I know I am getting know-how everyday by reading such pleasant posts.

  2. When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time
    a comment is added I get several emails with the same
    comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
    Many thanks!
