The following new message has been added to the Williams Genealogy Forums, on the Williams DNA Project board under the existing topic of Re: How to get those in a group to communicate??... -------------------------------- Thomas, You bring up a very good point and a common concern for many folks. We should not have to worry about spambots (the programmatic robots that scour the internet and harvest email addresses) for one simple reason. The email address are all stored in a data base and the only way to get them out is to run the webpage itself, which then runs a small piece of programming to "select" that information from the database. The spambots cannot run the webpages...they can only look at existing html code and pull from that. And, they cannot read from a database. I hope this helps to quell anyone's fear about spam! It has long been a concern of mine and I make many efforts to protect everyone from it. - Adrian
