    1. [VA-TAZEWELL] Gamers posting on message boards
    2. Cheryl Duke
    3. Hi, Listers, I just opened my message from another Virginia list and it was filled with rude messages from a group of gamers on AOL. They appeared to be high school students in a class or study hall. Someone from the list replied to the initial rude remark and then the list was overflowing with inappropriate messages from 3 or 4 different immature persons. They appear to be selecting random message boards, and of course the messages come to the list automatically. Hopefully this will not happen to this list. But if it does, DON'T reply to the offender, just delete the message. When they don't get the feedback, they just go away. The list administrator stepped and contacted AOL. The only fast solution to block this was to block all messages from the boards coming into the list, which of course, eliminates messages from genealogists. Has anyone else had this happen on any other lists they subscribe to?
