Virginia, YOu dont get viruses from the list. You cant. Any viruses you have are from personal emails. or items you downloaded.

This is starting to be a pet peeve of mine and I mean no disrespect to anyone on the list discussing viruses. I have at some point seen a virus discussion on every list I have been on. I wish that rootsweb would address the problem by explaining why you cannot get a virus from the list and it should be included in the welcome letter to every list. At the very least they should provide a very visible link explaining it. As soon as I am done here I am going to write rootsweb and suggest it. I hope that a few others will do the same. Maybe they will address the issue. One other thing, Please go through your address books periodically and delete addresses of people you no longer correspond with. I was recently sent a virus by someone I had an ebay transaction with almost 2 years ago. Fortunately I didn't open the attachment, but there was no reason for my address to still be in her address book. I'm off to email rootsweb I hope a few others do the same :-) Mary ----- Original Message ----- From: <VictorJBlomberg@aol.com> To: <OHLORAIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 9:20 PM Subject: Re: [OHLORAIN] leaving the lists > Virginia, > > YOu dont get viruses from the list.
