Hi cousins, As you are aware, regrettably one of our members has been posting extraneous messages to the list. As a result we have lost some members. I have removed the offender from the list. Apparently they had embedded the HOOKER list address into a group mail address to which they were sending general traffic. If they promise to remove the HOOKER address from the bulk mail block I will allow them to return to the list. If they do it again I will permanently bar them. I apologize for any inconvienience that this has cause you. And I emphasize that rootsweb mail lists are made available only for genealogy messages. Our traffic has been kinda slow, so I invite you to post a messge on your recent research. Patrick J.
