this is most true.

after a little 'head scratching' and 'brain smoke', i did some more
checking and found that what was going on was 2 of add-ons installed
where 'calling home' to see say hello and see what was new.

please see post of "Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 02:43:16 +0000" for what
i found. as yet, i have not taken time to track down second url.

thanks again.
