I am so sorry I caused this lady to be so infuriated. I have been on the mailing list for a long time. I read all posts to determine if someone is working on the same family lines, as I am. My query was my first and only post. I was very hopeful when I received responses to this query as I have been at a dead end for a long time. (I guess I remain at a dead end, as this poster is very angry at my question.) Later, I thought it was odd that I was asked to contact 2 posters privately and then never heard from them but the amount of spam I received increased. I am always concerned about putting my email address "out there" because of spammers. And, spammers do use all means possible to obtain active addresses. I sent this poster 3 emails over the period of time. None of them were returned. I also never received a reply. All I can say is that I received Tim Casey's email as well as another person regarding this situation, yesterday. Doesn't seem to be a problem with my address. I certainly understand not wanting to be labeled a spammer. Now, I hope you will understands being on guard against spammers. Life is too precious to be infuriated or infuriating. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Casey" <timcasey1@verizon.net> To: <ilperry@rootsweb.com> Cc: <akakuek@aol.com> Sent: Saturday, September 09, 2006 6:32 AM Subject: [ILPERRY] Tim Casey Mail List Adminstrator > 1.
