Does the counter number reflect the number of posts that are currently still available to read, or the entire number of posts in the history of the Bravenet forum? The oldest posts are from around April '05, and I think the forum was with Bravenet since around '01.

And speaking of strange things with our computers, every time I log on to the Internet, I can't come to the Columbo site first...I have to go to some other site first, and then come to the Columbo site. If I come here first, it says "this page cannot be displayed" and if I try to go to another site, it says the same thing, so I have to log off and log back on again, go to any other site, and then come here. This happens every time without fail, so I'm in the habit now of going somewhere else first, but every once in awhile I forget and come here first, and then have to log off and log back on!

All jokes aside, isn't anyone else concerned about the spyware stuff from Bravenet? Or am I just paranoid?

Must be just me..you're a trusting lot aren't you?

i'm sorry i never replied to you mark. but i have not had the same experiences that you have had. it truly frightens me to think of all the unexplained things that go on with the 'interweb' and all the things that could posssibly happen. but i have not had the same problems you have had with this site.

9,639 and counting.......... (that's supposed to be a calculator, but it looks more like a gameboy to me! )

Mark D. do you have anti-virus or anti-spyware software on your computer??? if not try using firefox they are really really good about screening out the undesireables -

and E. have you saved this site to your favorites?? then you never have to type in the address again just click on the fav address

9,934 now...it is getting close...can you feel the anticipation growing!!??
