Dear Behymer/Picklesimer/etc. Researchers: Rootsweb has just announced that they have closed all lists to nonsubscribers. This means that only those who have subscribed to the list may post messages to it. The reason is due to the large amount of spam that is currently being posted. That is, messages soliciting products or asking for money. Our list was already closed and you shouldn't have been receiving those messages for several months now. However, I receive all posted messages and there has been a lot of spam. Yesterday there were 6 messages suggesting websites with pornographic content sent to our list, but Rootsweb caught them and they were not posted to the list. If you are subscribed to the list under one email address and post from another email address, please let me know. There are some things I can do to keep your messages from bouncing. There should be no interruption of service for our list. Business will go on as usual. Happy Holidays! Twila, Listowner
