From the information I've been able to gather about this situation, the person who posted this message to this list and many others "hijacked" the email account of the AOL list subscriber and posted his SCAM message on all of the lists the AOL subscriber was subscribed to. So please be aware: 1) that this is a SCAM--ANCESTRY would NOT ask you to pay someone $10 via PayPal (they do not USE paypal) for access to a FREE trial. 2) that the person to whom this email address is assigned isn't the person who is running the scam--he is a victim. So, let's move on--back to Pennsylvania genealogy. Thanks!

I have belonged to many lists for several years and you are by far the worst 'co-admin' I have ever known. Every time someone posts something that you consider to be even slightly off topic you are ruthless and vicious. You say 'We all know it is a scam'. Well, I didn't know and I wouldn't have if some kind person hadn't alerted me on this list..............and I wouldn't have known I could get my family tree printed at Kinkos if another kind person on this list hadn't posted it. There are many aspects to genealogy. Why can't you lighten up?.....................and if you want to DROP anything, feel free to DROP me!!

Beryl- I did, drop you that is. We don't need list members who fail to read list posts on admin topics prior to mouthing off on the list. You broke the #1 cardinal rule on the list and that is taking an admin matter PUBLIC onto the list. The welcome letter and list taglines both tell you admin communications are to go private. Your post was every bit as distracting to the list discussion as was the scammer. What I meant by saying we know this was a scam was that I had just POSTED to the list about it being a scam. We simply don't need 650+ list members chiming into the discussion.

If you have anything you need to say about the matter write privately to the admin address: PENNSYLVANIA-admin@rootsweb.com . This is fair warning to drop the discussion NOW and get back to Pennsylvania genealogy discussion. An active list of more than 700 list members has the right to expect when they open their list mail to read it that the messages they will be reading at least remotely pertain to PENNSYLVANIA genealogy. To allow anything less, or to NOT act when something DOES slip through that should not be permitted on the list, would NOT be fulfilling admin responsibilities. Thanks for your cooperation.
