Kelley:
Oops, sorry, I didn't explain that well--it *is* set to come out one hour before chat time
(which is essentially as the message states:  

Chat start times:
11 am Pacific US
12 noon Mountain US
1 pm Central US
2 pm Eastern US
7 pm UK

*But,* since Yahoo's been making changes, the reminder isn't coming out at the time
it's supposed to.  For me, it should arrive at noon on Sundays, as I'm in the Central
US time zone, but I didn't receive it until 3:30 am Monday.  The reminders did come
out at their proper times when we set them up initially, but that's been a long time ago
now, and with Yahoo's tinkering they've gotten messed up.

Kelley:
Yes, I kind of guess that's probably what it is for most folks these days.

Kelley:
Hm, I'm not following--what do you mean list of special categories?
