It hasn't "stopped" - it's just once in awhile it get's glitchie ... and I won't get mail notices, but like last night I got about 8 all at once - but I had read the posts already. This one for your post was on time - got it when I booted up this morning. I dunno - technology - ain't all it's cracked up to be.
