Jane, I probably got the same messages from someone supposedly on AOL, only I got six of them and also got a notice that the Spam Fighter on Rootsweb stopped the same message from getting on my list. Think AOL has been having a lot of problems lately. There was an announcement on the List list the other day that something was wrong. Then this morning I got four messages, none addressed specifically to me, about some off the wall reports I supposedly requested. Not so. Have sent offending messages back to abuse@aol.com. And have also notified the people at my ISP. Seems most of the SPAM is coming from aol addresses these days. Someone must have found a way to bypass the spammola detector. Edgar Edgar D.
