    3. Listmembers, I'm sure by now most of you have seen a message floating around regarding Genealogy.com selling messages that are posted to GenForum message boards. It hasn't appeared on this list yet, but I thought I would beat somebody to the punch. The message kind of gives the impression that GenFourm is connected with RootsWeb and/or Ancestry.com. I want to take this time to clear up some things. 1) GenFourm belongs to Genealogy.com not to RootsWeb or Ancestry.com. Any info you post to a RootsWeb message board or mailing list will not be sold. 2) The powers that be at Genealogy.com have denied this allegation, and well I believe them regardless of the stories that go around about them. So, if you get a copy of this message, the best thing you can do is delete it with the rest of the junk mail. You would think these people would spend their time and money looking for ancestors rather than spouting off garbage, oh well......... I apologize for the interruption. I know this is the second time in as many days that I've had to post a warring about a chain letter that affects RootsWeb. I wish these crazy people would get a life....or at least spend their online time more productively. Well....anyway...back to regularly scheduled programming. If anyone has any comments about this, please e-mail me privately.
