The worst that I experienced was googlemail. When it first started and you needed an invite, I was invited by a friend (even though I didn't really want to get a googlemail account). Only he and I knew the address. I never used it for something else. One half of the emails I got on that account was by my friend. The other half was spam. This was reason enough for me to delete my account there.

Sorry for this. I was not at my computer, so I couldn't check. I have my email entered in my profile here and it does show as email option. But it doesn't seem to work. I get an error message when clicking on the email symbol. Also I thought for sure I had included an email address somewhere in my tool. Doesn't look like it though.
I never post my email address directly in a forum to keep it spam free (I don't want webcrawlers to harvest my email addresses). So far this is a good policy because I do not get any spam on my main email accounts. I will drop you an email.

Thanks for that.  Like i said I fully understand not posting your email address.  Odd about gmail.  I have never gotten spam there of course I also don't give that one out.  The worst for me was HOTMAIL ... oh my .. i created 2 accounts and didn't give them out to anyone.  Just a trial.  And started to get crap mail right way <G>.

Thanks again I will send off the zip and "Burn After Reading" your email <G>

Tom, it appears my hotmail account has been hacked again <sigh> I will send you a private message where to send your email.

Thanks

There is an invalid character in the overview of "The Independent" (UPC: 783722-274422), which breaks the XML.
It is a character between "he" and "s" in "But now hes broke".
When you remove/replace this character in DVD Profiler and make a new export, the XML should be usable in MyMovies and CCViewer.

[DSig]

I say WOW.  No i know you are ahead of us here .. but didn't know that much ahead <G>

Thanks I will look at the Independent and see what the heck is going on.  Funny the profile came with the bad characters.

Maybe it will work with MyMovies now.

thanks again .. the offer still stands

thanks again .. the offer still stands

There are two Amazon wishlist links on my website, if someone feels the urge to give me something  (just tell me if you do, so that I don't accidentally double-dip)
But don't feel obligated to do so. It wasn't a bother and only took me a minute to find the problem.
