Just a note from some one who is tired of all these warnings, Virus Warnings (hoax or not) and the Phone tax thing are ALL off topic and off limmits to all Rootswebs lists, the admin of roots web has ask not to post this, and I have sent it forwards, if you continue to post these things you (will be) blocked from all rootsweb. And thats no joke ! Please do not keep following this thread. Has not a thing to do with the purpose of this system or roll call .. Just .02 cents worth.
