The two threads I started have been merged.  I removed the Tag section and
made progress.  So we no longer need the misbehavior thread, so it appears.

Sorry about not changing the topic- I forget sometimes.  I will try to
change the setting so I receive individual emails vs the digest.

When I tried to import just now it said it was having trouble with the date
settings.  I will start another thread for that.


Thanks for all the help!
