I think this is very appropriate discussion for the list. It would take me a long time to go in and code each and every email address and I am busy woman with a busy life. But, I will be happy to change the email address for anyone who takes the time to have it coded and will send it to me. Thanks for backing me up, Paul. I appreciate your understanding.

Any of us who hold ourselves out for public access within the USGenWeb project are going to be attacked by spammers and it would seem that we are individually responsible for implementing any filters, etc. on our own computers rather than placing the burden upon you.

Most anti-spam literature recommends hiding email addresses on websites. It should be common practice for the USGenWEb websites since we are so often, so completely, and aggressively targeted for harvesting. Here's a webpage that gives some other suggestions. http://www.robelle.com/tips/email-cloak.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pam Reid" <pamreid@comcast.net> To: <STATE-COORD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 10:06 PM Subject: RE: [STATE-COORD-L] Who's Who - SC page > I think this is very appropriate discussion for the list.

A simple method used in Missouri is to create a table with three cells for listing email addresses - the '@' goes in the center one; you can figure out the rest <grin>. Larry Flesher SC, MOGenWeb Project
