Dear Listers: It has been brought to my attention today that Rootsweb has a new Acceptable Use Policy and also a Privacy Statement. You will find them at: http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/aup.html and http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/privacy.html For all intent and purposes, they seem to reflect similar wording to what I had read at Ancestry.com site a while ago. However, it is best that you read them for yourself. ....................................... ATT subscribers' mail is bouncing on many lists, if not on all. Seems ATT has some internal issue that is preventing Rootsweb from being able to deliver mail. RW tries for 3 days and then deletes the undeliverable mail from the que. This is an ATT problem, *not* a RW problem. It is unknown how long it will take for it to clear up. ....................................... Thanks to Dick Stewart, who alerted me to a Rootsweb web site being "hacked" I was able to alert RW. It was investigated immediately and the determination that I received said it was only the one site. They felt the password had likely been compromised. The web site has been restored. Rootsweb was most responsive. ........................................ I suspect we will have a bunch of newbies subscribe to the lists right after Christmas. Please be patient and supportive of them while they figure out what they are doing with their brand new computers! And also -- make sure you have your antivirus software up-to-date, on and activated. The data you protect may be your own! ....................................... Happy Holidays to all the subscribers of all the lists I administer! Yours Aye, Slainte, Happy Trails, Lauren List Admin
