The message as you know is coming from this tag [data session
ship_message]. From looking through the logs I show to find four
messages with this problem. The fun part about this is some of them are
where I responded to another guy having this problem. I seam to help him
fix his but am now unable to fix mine. :(

Any thoughts on a Friday?
