Spam and Flaming: Spam is normally caught by the filters at Rootsweb main center, and they seldom make the lists or board. But personal postings do slip through sometimes. I am sorry we cannot catch all of them unless I have a restricted list where every message is sent to me before posting. I have not felt a need for that action as we have had a very friendly list so far. To all list members Rootsweb has strict rules about Flaming on the list and boards. Please in the future: If someone posts a message that has offended you or someone else on the list, please do not reply on the list. Know that I will be taking care of the problem. I know it is hard when you have been offended, but for the sake of the list, please just delete it. If you feel it is something I need to see, please forward the message to me, as sometimes they slip through and I dont see them. You can be assured I will take care of it behind the scene and privately. Our list is not for name calling or hurtful messages and it will not be tolerated on the list. Now lets all get back to the great messages we are getting from our members. Sue Ellen Cave Ash Cave list and board manager
