Kathi, I just downloaded a message packet (after 56 hours without power)
and found a copy of this in it. It will show you what it looks like, and
at least confirm that it's out there! I have 2 different internet
addresses now, and this is probably the one I'll end up using, but for
the time being, either will get to me.
                                  Carol
