	Instead of using brackets round the (dot ) why don’t we all start replacing them with the * as someone suggested (forgot who),seems a lot simpler. Though of course we shouldn’t have to do it Bob

	Something else funny, GC won't accept the word "dot" in the message! That's why I have put the brackets round it. Strange site!! Bob

	which includes com of course. I use .co (which means only the * needs deleting and nothing needs adding)

	Nudge In addition, why aren't we allowed to put full com/couk ? It seems silly when we can all post the addresses using com it would make it so much easier for everyone.....

	It's a throwback to when you only had to pay to contact people ... if we could put email addresses in the post then no-one would ever have paid. Now we have to pay to post it strikes me as a tad unnecessary.
