Member Since: January 2003 Posts: 865 Send Message	My vote too. If someone is a contact then you can give permission if you wish or when they request it. It used to be that way back in the beginning!! LOL I have asked for this to be re-instated previously but it fell on deaf ears! love Theresa

	Let's pester them until they do something about it! It's a small change and wouldn't make any difference to them but could make life so much pleasanter for us. We are the paying customers after all. Sue

	I have to agree with you, I think this has been said before but sadly as usual they do not listen to their members, if you are new you do not know that you untick the box, many a times peeps have opened their tree to me. Sue..........
