Elise - See above for the correct email address for the Norway List and put it in your address book so you know how to start a new message. You must be talking about a Facebook scam...??? You didn't say. They don't have anything to do with this list other than that some of the Norway Listers also use Facebook rather than the old-fashioned way of using email. [I, for one, am not on either Facebook or Twitter.] Thanks for the head's up, and I'm including the email address for Karla directly so she is aware of what is going on.
