As of 11:30 am CST I found access to the http://www.glorecords.blm.gov site working just fine. The !@#$% hacker had only hacked the "genealogical" portion of this site (the search for land patents). No virus was involved. The basic sight was always OK. And now access to it is back to normal. No need now for further announcing, commentary, discussion, conjecture, concern, right? <whew> He/it was one ugly critter, wasn't he/it. Mysty shakerag@mtnhome.com
