Thanks, Deb. I was shocked when I opened that, expecting some great site with genealogical data. I don't normally open anything that I don't recognize, but that return address totally fooled me.

It is a shame these spammers can forge the email addresses because any of us can be taken in, especially when it is a rootsweb email address. At least Rootsweb is on the ball and helping to delete the spam messages shortly after they are posted in case we cannot get to it fast enough. I will delete them as fast as I see them. If not, please feel free to bring it to my attention in case it gets lost in my inbox.
