I am afraid I picked up the "virus" yesterday. I responded to a member on the PAF list (it is controlled by Yahoo not Rootsweb; but Yahoo says they also screen out virus) Then: I got a response not from the person I wrote to but from another person on the same list (it is a small list). Then I got the samde identical wording from another person on the same list. They are both registered members and you can look up to see who they are on the registry. However, I did open the attachment from one of these members. It is like a "ping-pong" virus and it goes from one person to another without your knowledge. It was in the PAF list and at least twice I got the same bad attachment. Alice gave me the address for the anti-virus and I scanned it out so hopefully it is gone. Jean
