I haven't received any posts in the last few days and wondered if I had been bumped off the list. With the infections going around anything can happen. John J.D. Avery, Undertaker Manchester, Missouri www.civilwarundertaker.net

J.D., It has been quiet here. Must be because Edward was wounded in action. <g> Alice Gayley JAvery1129@aol.com wrote: > I haven't received any posts in the last few days and wondered if I had been > bumped off the list.

John, it appears you're certainly in the right profession for the list when it gets quiet and dies down for a while. And Alice, I may be the walking wounded, but I'm hanging in there because I'm a tuff old bird. Just to let everyone know, I'm doing lots better now, so I'll do my best to help and contribute when there's something I'm knowledgeable about. I'm in a full arm cast now which makes it quite difficult to type and I'm mighty slow, but like my German GG Grandfather, Sergeant Major William Henry von Eberstein, a wound isn't going to keep me down. He was wounded twice in the War....first at Battery Wagner, SC in August 1863 and also at the Battle of Drewry's Bluff in the defense of Petersburg. Over the past year or so, I've been transcribing the war years from his memoirs and hope one day soon to have it published. It will be a small book but will include his war experiences and his service record. I'm mainly doing it for family, but will have some copies just in case anyone might be interested in one. One other note...this morning I was talking with a friend who's a Certified Genealogist and when I mentioned one ancestor who's last name was Grant, she let me know there was a distinct possibility I may somehow be related to U.S.Grant, as they were from the same area. Being the good Southerner I am, if I am related somehow, I'll never admit it! <g> Hope everyone is well. Edward aka "The Walking Wounded"

I think it is just quiet, or maybe as another suggested, the current destructive worm is eating away.

Hi, Listers! I've been busier than the proverbial one-armed paper-hanger, keeping my 'puter clean of the latest sobig worm. Somewhere, I am on a list with some subscribers whose computers are infected. Of course the virus-laden attachments do NOT come through any RootsWeb list, but my address is in a lot of address books, and I am not only receiving contaminated messages (81 on Wednesday) but messages are going out with MY return address as the sender. Not guilty, Judge, I swear! Computer experts say this will get worse. I am taking some steps to reduce vulnerability, I hope. Have purchased 10 web-based mailboxes, and I'll be unsubbing all lists and resubbing to one of those. Edward, I also am related to Grant, but I am also related to JEB Stuart. We just have to learn to live with it. :>) Sharon
