Dear members and Mr. Lewis, All of my childhood days were spent in the little spot on the map, known as Summitville. I want to say that I am so glad that we have a wonderful list to use and share, to learn of our past family connections. We have all been through such a terrible time the past few days and now is not the time to "cry, moan and mis-understand the workings of viruses and the like". As list-owner, Mr. Lewis provides us with one of the most useful lists that I currently belong to and use. Please, members, step back and learn just how viruses get into messages before you leap out at someone. As someone already stated, roughly 99% of the people who send out messages that contain a virus, don't even know that one has been attached. The lady who sent out the message and then got lamb-basted for sending a virus has been clearly mistreated. I received the same message and there was no virus in it. Clearly, we need to keep updated on our virus protection. Do it daily and all of us should be protec! ted. If I am out of line in the eyes of Mr. Lewis, or anyone else, for putting this on the message board, I apologize and will learn from my experience. Keep our list, "the wonderful tool that it is" and God Bless America. Jim Ralston in Michigan
