hi jawjaw & dian, that's comforting to know. I've just joined FW last week and signed up for this PM thing as it informed me that I had one message. then when i opened that message it was a missent, i.e. it was not intended for me, so i emailed back the one who missent it. that person apologized. i felt like maybe it was a scam. oh well, anyway i could discontinue the service next year. hmmm
