Finally at login I decided to check the box to share my email publicly and it worked. The correct email was there but grayed out. If it now shows to bots and everyone I hesitate to unshare...lol
Bottom line, I greatly appreciate the patience of cariboo907, though he seemed to be loosing it when he came very close to accusing ME of doing something wrong. lol That's okay though 'cause he has no idea of what I said back to him.
Thank you all!
