** Do not reply to this message in such a way that the reply goes to the list ** Greetings: This sort of situation is addressed on the list in every the tagline of every 10th message posted to the list, as follows. ***IMPORTANT - Occasionally "off topic" messages and "spam" are posted on the Illinois Message Board which is gatewayed to this list. When this happens, Please just hit your delete key. If you must comment, contact me at: ILROOTS-admin@rootsweb.com . If you respond "on list" to the offending message and send it back to the list with your reply, you will be placed on "moderation" status for one month. Thank you for your cooperation.*** I saw the message very early this morning and reported it to Rootsweb. It is impossible to stop this sort of thing, outside of closing the gateway between the list and board, which I hate to do. BTW, this message was posted to all STATE and COUNTRY message boards. If a member is so offended by this sort of thing occurring, and wishes to unsubscribe from the list, you can do so by sending a message with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line to ILROOTS-L@rootsweb.com OR ILROOTS-D@rootsweb.com (for digest). I hope it will not come to that, but please understand that I have NO control over messages posted to Message Boards. Once they are posted, they automatically go to the list, unless the gateway between the list and board is closed. Any comments or questions are to be addressed to me, **PRIVATELY**, and not the list.
