Dear lister's, Some may remember in early December of 1999, I had to change this list to a moderated format due to ongoing problems with spam and viruses. The last few weeks, rootsweb's "spam-detective" software has filtered out 6 or 7 pieces of spam, and a couple of emails containing viruses. Not a single peice of spam or virus got through the "spam-detective". As a consequence I no longer feel it's so necessary to moderate the format, and I am changing it to an unmoderated format imediately. This will cause the posters email address to show on postings and is more in accord with what most people call freedom of the press, etc, etc.. I hope this works out and we can leave it unmoderated. In a week or so I'll change the instructions at the website to reflect this change.
