WAS: [GERmanRUSsian] Fw: Virus Warning PLEASE DO NOT SEND virus WARNINGS to this GERmanRUSsian list. Leave it/that to the List Keeper please. Most of the time these messages are useless. And unless there is a really serious threat we don't want to clutter this forum with a bunch of nonsense messages. There are other ways of informing your friends et al about these things. More often than not these messages turn out to be about a HOAX, which then triggers a bunch of other correcting messages. If anyone is interested in discussing viruses, there is always the [email protected] list I would like to wish all list participants a productive GENEALOGY 2002 < only personal replies please!!! ; it's understood that you may wish to reciprocate...but don't do it please unless it's along with a GENEALOGY message. > Happy Roots Rooting!
