The link takes me to a page that says: Add a Pingbox to your social network profile, blog, or website, and chat with your visitors when you are signed into Yahoo! Messenger! Has anyone ever heard of this, or used it? Margretta

But I find that people having to take my name and put it in the messenger filters out some of the non-sense. __________________ Stacey Harris On Demand Virtual Assistant
