Hi to all: Rootsweb has in place a "spam blocker" however you need to be aware that spammers are getting smarter everyday. Just tonight as you will note in your messages we had one spammer join both the List and the Disgest version and put spam through the list. I have unsubscribed him from both list and put him on a permanent reject notice. This will only stop him for a little while, until he can figure out something else. The best thing you can do is 1. DON"T email the list about the spam. The spammer don't care and your messages will only take up room on other subscribers computers.. and some people have to pay by the minute so each message cost them to down load. 2. If you want to complain, complain to the spammer personally... but please be aware that all you are doing when you do that, is giving them a working email address they can harass. NOTE: I have contacted rootsweb about this person and hopefully they can help. PLEASE.... NO MAIL ON THE LIST ABOUT THIS. I am doing the best I can to protect our research enviroment. Sorry Annette
