I have a couple of download/purchase problems. I tried to send emails to mjnroodig@gmail.com and michaeln2@winco.net but the emails were rejected. The addressed were referenced in the receipt and/or blog site. Thanks
Gary-Try mjnrootdig@gmail.com again. It should work. For reasons that elude me, PayPal insists on using the winco.net address while I have not had it in years. Thanks…and my apologies for the problem.
It should be mjnrootdig@gmail.com—I think the “t” was missing.
