Thank you so much! I think every cat owner would do well to read
this
story . It is heartbreaking when a pet gets lost.

I know! I was amazed by the story when it was first posted, too.
So many good suggestions were given, but the OPs trick was so original
and worked, to boot. lol

I wish I knew more about computers to find a story I would like to
re-read. Again, thank you. MLB

Google groups is pretty easy to use. http://groups.google.com and go
to "advanced search", put in the criteria the best you remember it and
if you remember the group it was originally posted in it helps narrow
down the results.
