13. Using Mozilla Firefox - No Problem With Spell Checker

I think most browsers have the option of blocking "pop-ups" from external sites versus "pop-ups" generated internal to the site one is visiting.

At least that is how it works with Firefox.

16. About the 'Left Behind' option

Does this refer to the 'No Child Left Behind Act', or are you suggesting that the rapture has happened and we're all heathens left behind?

If the latter, surely F.R. would have gone quiet, we all know how sure they are to be raptured...
