Greetings from "Down Under" to Reg Oakley regarding your posting of 28 April2005, to this list:- I am of the opinion that Reg may have broken one of the rules of the Rootsweb mailing lists. To use this list to raise funds is quite unacceptable, however well intentioned.. For Reg to send his email to everybody on his email address book without their permission is perhaps a little rude. Whilst we know who we are "rubbing shoulders" with on the BUCKS list, we do not know who or what is on Reg's email address book. No offence intended. to fellow subscribers to the BUCKS list:- Please do not follow Reg's example. Please make sure that your anti-virus programme is up to date. To those of our subscribers on our happy list who do not have an anti- virus programme installed on their computer, perhaps now is the time to chase up what is available and to install suitable protection. The internet, emails, attachments etc are all tools used by the unmentionables who delight in causing pain and confusion. We used to live in a happy world. What went wrong? Can we put the clock back please? to the List Administrator:- Perhaps a polite smack on the back of Reg's wrist. Perhaps a warning to all of the BUCKS list subscribers not to copy the example of Reg's (well intentioned) action. Maurice Burns Perth, Western Australia an ex Bucks resident (1930's - 1960's)
