Now they can just spam you directly Nan.

Nan, Kathie is right, you should NEVER writer directly to a spammer and/or click on any links or attachments in spam. Doing so will only give them another confirmed address to send their stuff to and, well, will only add to the spam that is likely already coming into your spam filters or inbox. Since this is spam on the boards, the only real option to us is to report it via the "Report Abuse" links on the boards so RootsWeb can remove them and the board account it was posted from. :-( David E.
