Let me explain how the list works. Right now it is not moderated. What is posted to the list goes to the list. If spam continues to come to the list, The list will become moderated, which means that everything comes to my email first and I forward it to the list when I can get to it. I would much prefer that we all play nice and act as adults rather than my having to act as referee. Any one who sends spam to the list will be given the opportunity to appologize to the list and then I will remove them from the list. Good manners are always a must. If someone has a question about spam please contact me off list. I do believe that rootsweb has a section on spam on their web page. I am away from my computer so can't do a web search for the url. If anyone has comments please contact me off list. Deborah Byrd list manager
