Hello All Again, I am sorry for the confusion. I am using my wife's computer and also typed my name wrong in the last message. When I stated that some "business concerns" were members of this list, I was not refering to advertisements. We are being watched by persons who's interest is solely to make a buck. I have confirmed two. To remove them is pointless--they will just come back under a different name. I share this information not to make everyone paranoid. Just remember that anything you post here, on another mailing list, or web page is available to all. If there is information that you would prefer to keep private, don't post it.

There are likely others who are being more secretive. When you post information to this or any genealogy list, just be aware that not all viewers are honorable.
