Re: [ga] MY "ALTERNATE ROOT" EXPERIENCE

[kstubbs@digitel.net (Digitel - Ken Stubbs)]

your are seriously wrong here roland..
when it come to "alternate roots" and how, technically,  the user get to
view these these sites, i am no more knowledgable than the next guy.
i followed the pacific root instructions how how to use their system  and it
worked for me so, naturally, i did just the same thing (i.e. followed what i
thought were clear instructions)  with new.net and ended up with the mess i
described in my initial e-mail.

nothing more... nothing less
