Hi All! I'm sorry to see that our Andersonville List was hit by a wave of unwanted SPAM. I'm particularly sorry to have to admit that I'm partly at fault...Here's what happened: When I set up the Andersonville mailing list earlier this year I made the request to the fine folks at Rootsweb.com for the list's creation, my fourth and LAST mailing list! At any rate, w/ all the others, I'd always asked at the time of creation that the lists be "closed" to non-subscribers. I thought that I'd made a similar request for Andersonville-L but I either forgot or that request was never fulfilled. The problem now has been corrected and Rootsweb.com's own SPAM filters should further help us avoid unwanted mail. Andersonville is now a closed list so *only* subscribers can post to it (i.e., if you're reading this, you don't need to worry about anything). Now let's all get back to discussing Andersonville, okay? I'm sorry that I inadvertantly helped the spammers attack us. Greg Reeves ANDERSONVILLE-L Listowner greg@rapidnet.com
