The log kept on the server is compared to that, if none is 
found then all the adds that should have been there are 
downloaded. They're no dummies. The program has been made 
to take into account people who delete that directory. The 
message transfer, after deleting, gets all the ads back.

Did that when I first filled it out.

Did that to stsrt with and on one reply I thought would 
be pertinent in that respect.
