Unfortunately the time period varies. It is kind of like a magazine subscription. When it runs out, you get a final notice. Then every month you get another one until finally it is final. Just got to keep waiting for it.</p> Wed, 24 Oct 2001 11:29:25 +0000 mairving comment 1092367 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
