Ok but that is not an answer to my questions above.

Thanks though. You can't? Have I not explained it well? I must admit the disclaimer could have been better written. When he says "this site" he probably means his few pages at the subdomain winhelp2002.mvps.org which the owner of the main domain mvps.org allows him to control. The main "site" (mvps.org) owner doesn't approve or disapprove of the content and the only way they are connected is that they are both MVPs. >> Now would you care to address my comment? > > Have I done so now?
