I don't know how many of you admin locality lists but I've been hit over the past few days with hundreds of posts like this one: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/PENNSYLVANIA/2012-04/133521375 9 Some were caught in pending requests because he sent too many at one time and they were blocked. I responded by rejecting them and explained in my rejection notice that the posts were not specifically relevant to the topic of the lists he was trying to post on AND that he was cross-posting to too many lists...not only THAT but he encourages people to reply to him with questions, etc. ON the lists! The difficulty with complaining about his off-topic mass cross-posting AFTER he posts anyway after being told NOT TO, is that people DO find his site "useful" or "helpful" and those who don't grasp the problem with massive cross-posting and advertising on hundreds of lists get upset if/when the admin intervenes. He has caused a great deal of turmoil on my lists so far and he's branching out now to many other lists. This is just a "heads up" that this guy is going state by state, county by county, subbing to lists and posting identical messages/advertisements on every list he can find. Joan
