Southeastern Iowa had had a major power outage over the past 26 hours. Apparently, a spammer message came through according to some of the messages I received this evening. My apologies to our list members as those advertising messages did not originate with our site. Rootsweb's abuse service bounced a number of messages, but apparently one went through to some of you. Please do not respond to the party sending them as they will then use your e-mail address to spam the next group of their targets. Instead, send a copy of the message to abuse@rootsweb.com who will take action and contact their ISP to have them banned from continuing this practice. Again, my apologies. It didn't come from Louisa County as we have been without power until a few minutes ago. Norma Jennings, Listowner
