The key word in what you quoted was "unwittingly". However I have still seen messages like that posted on other mailing lists involving Jhoos and when the "sender" was able to get online again they have indicated that they did NOT join Jhoos but their computer was, in fact, infected with a virus. What I'm saying is don't blame Michelle. She is signed up with other Rootsweb mailing lists and is not a spammer.

Please read the item below, which was posted on several lists I belong to, after the same message was sent to each of them, with Michelle's name attached as 'sender'. We each should heed the message, paying particular attention to the last sentence. Toni ~ Ontario
