She didn't seem too cooperative.  She suggested that Sue had to go 
through her ISP to access her email.  Sue tried to tell her that was a 
web site that belonged to us and not an ISP but she didn't want to 
listen and insisted Sue needed to log into her ISP.   I guess we have a 
clueless librarian on our hands.  I'll call tomorrow and see if I can 
get someone that knows what they are doing to unlock the keys.

Oh and my web site is not a porno site and I don't think ever has been.  
Apart from a picture or two of a topless guy swilling a beer, I can't 
think of anything objectionable about the site.  I have had hate mail 
sent to me suggesting they hated me 'cause I was living THEIR dream.  ;)

Thanks,
Jim.
