Preferences - Online Banking

[R Winstead]

I guess I'm just sending this to the moderator for this group.  I never saw
this come across in email so I'm wondering if this was not released to the
group by the moderator, or was there some other reason?  I have checked
archives and I didn't see anything that would answer my question.  I don't
believe I've done anything outside of the rules of etiquette for this
group, but please let me know if I have.

Thank you.
