Hello John, Yea I guess I have to face the music and do it, but to be frank, I really, really do not want to have to trawl through my contacts list and inform everyone. But I guess I have to at some stage. 'Cause then I will have to monitor the old address for a year or so, in case someone doesn't change their contacts list, which most will not do I am sure. Hmm.
