    1. [INADAMS-L] Viruses and the Who We Are list

    3. >From time to time I get messages from some well-meaning folks alerting me to such-and-such a virus that's being spread by email messages. So far, none of those messages have reached this list, and I hope they don't. I have seen dozens of such messages on various lists, and they all have been hoaxes. If you get such a message, please do not forward it onto this list. If you are concerned, email me privately, and I'll be glad to check it out with our computer experts on campus (Eastern Kentucky University). The true virus about these messages is that they get repeated over and over again, as people forward them to all their email lists, and they cause untold problems clogging up inboxes, and causing storage problems at places like RootsWeb, which is the host for this list. In all my years working with email, I have never seen a virus transmitted this way. If you are concerned, as you should be, get a good virus protection program that will screen all your incoming messages. True viruses don't announce themselves in advance. I'll transmit a new Who We Are list later tonight or tomorrow. After that I am going to place the list on a web page which you can access when you wish. I'll let you know what the address is when I've had a chance to load it. Once there, you'll be able to use the search feature in your browser (usually CTRL-F) to search the page for any surnames you are interested in. If you would like to be on the list, send me your name, email address, location, and Adams Co. surnames you are researching (in the following format please - it makes it easier to cut and paste into the list): Tim Singleton, tsingleton@iclub.org Richmond, KY SINGLETON, MANN, KIESS, MCCONNEHEY, MEWHORTER, WARNER The newest additions to the list will be marked with an asterisk. Thanks.
