Just received from central command. Appearing here with the permission of list administrators only. Maybe we can all get back to the task at hand and belay the virus memos. I hope this will end the on-going discussion of where the responsibility lies. We are all on our own...act accordingly. Subject: Re: [Fwd: Abuse (Chris #85786)] (fwd) (Chris #86837) Date: Sun, 20 May 2001 10:29:40 -0600 From: RootsWeb HelpDesk <[email protected]> "RootsWeb simply does not have a focus of virus education," "There are plenty of places on the internet which disseminate anti-virus information." "Mailing List administrators set the rules and tone of their individual lists -- if you break the rules, you are at risk for being banned. Administrators are aware of, and have the authority, to remove any list subscribers who are infected with a virus. You are free to contact other list subscribers privately, but there you run the risk of being the sender of unwanted and unrequested mail. A recipient can report you to the list admin, and more importantly, to their ISP as a spammer in that case. Then, you run the risk of losing email privileges entirely. So, as much as your efforts to educate are good-hearted, the bottom line is that RootsWeb mailing lists are simply not the place for you to act." ---------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright © 2001 Alan kemp Dempster, Ontario, Canada You are guaranteed honest advice and a person of Christian integrity.
