Following my letter is an example of what one should not do. This is exactly what I am talking about. A real example of rudeness and in light of the fact that I have clearly warned against harrassment, it is already crossing the borders of the law. I have sent a return warning, but do not want any more of these "personal" messages sent to my mail box. If someone has something to post publically concerning the Blanchard files, I like to read it also. If they have something constructive, I think that should be OK too. I do welcome friendly letters, though, and thankyou, by the way. I do not want insulting mail coming in to my computer from people with nothing better to do, and again, I warn I will forward it to the police when this happens. Again, if someone has nothing good to say, don't say it to me- you may post it- or do whatever you want, but also be aware that there are laws agains harrassment and don't send it to my computer. There are much better things to do with one's time.

I recieve this message at least 25 times a month. It's a pain. Last month I recieved this one AND the idiotic one about Bill Gates sending 1,000.00 to whomever would "pass this msg on to as many people as you can". I don t care what anyone does for a living. I don't care what their grade-points are. I have been online for over 10 years and I have NEVER picked up a virus. I have never had a crash. I have never had to reconfigure. I don't care to recieve your messages in a forum devoted to genealogy. Send your warnings to your friends who know you.
