i still see no problem with the guest book as the only working e/mail
addy i have connected to my page goes throuhg my isp who i must repeat
blocks spam so any spam i get on that addy is miniscual compared to my
addy with my web host.

i must repeat in 10 years i have had that guest book and that address
i have never had a spam problem such as this as described above.
With peace and brightest of blessings,
