Is it alright to place part of this on my personal web site if I submit a reference to this website?
@website – sure and thanks for asking!
When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thank you!
@duct cleaning…hated to approve your comment or answer back because you would get 6 more…SOOOO sorry this is happening. Do not know how to make it stop – it is a wordpress function and I looked at the back end and did not see a way to do that. PLEASE know that this a moderated post (I get about 3 spam comments a day) and only publish the ones that seem to come from “real” people. Could you set up a filter in your email to send them to the trash? (not a great solution but would hate to lose you as a reader!!!)
