Hi all,

Possibly, and this actually may not be the problem, but then again, it
may, 
(just getting a little weasel room here) it is because the URL listed in
the 
text is incomplete. For example, if you click on this:

www.theboondockers.com

you won't see anything happen. But if you click on this:

http://www.theboondockers.com

you will be instantly whisked to the website.

On the other hand, perhaps there is a more accurate explanation.

Respectfully submitted,

Bill "the boondocker" Gunter
