We have obviously just been hit by a spammer from the message board, and the situation will be dealt with accordingly. Please DO NOT FORWARD IT TO THE LIST again as has been done in the past, as it will only make you guilty of the same thing the spammer is. If you have any questions about it, feel free to contact me OFF list at the address below. For your information, RootsWeb is in the process of switching to a completely new e-mail system and I am one of the BETA testers for it. It is coming very soon, but one of the features is that it gives me a tool to stop this type of post from ever reaching the list from the board in the first place so this one may be the last one we see. I am not at liberty to say much more about it until it is officially announced, but it is coming soon. David E.
