    3. As of today there are 190 subscribers to the list - 154 in mail mode, 36 in digest mode. UNSUBBING: If you wish to unsub from this list send email to: wirichla-l-request@rootsweb.com for list mode and wirichla-d-request@rootsweb.com for digest mode. BOUNCING MAIL: >From time to time people bounce off the list for a variety of reasons among which are: user unknown (message from your ISP) account over quota (message from your ISP) account inactive (message from your ISP) For reasons, unknown to me, sometimes Rootsweb will auto unsub you when the bounce limit is gone over while at other times it won't. When it doesn't automatically unsub you after the number gets over this limit I will unsub you. If for some reason your account is still valid and you write me saying that you still wish to be on the list, I'll resub you. If you are unsure whether or not you are still subscribed here, send a test message to the list. POSTING MESSAGES: To post a message to this list send it to wirichla-l@rootsweb.com using the address you are subbed to the list under. This applies whether or not you receive the list in mail or digest mode. If you try to post with an address not subbed to this list, it will bounce to me as list manager and I'll resend it showing the line (not a subscriber) in front of the subject line. If you wish to post from multiple addresses, yet only receive mail at one address, please write me and let me know your various addresses and how you want your account here set up. FINALLY, if you are new to this list, speak up and let us know what areas of research you are interested in. One never knows who might have the 'brick' you need for your wall. Thanks, Tim Stowell list administrator

    3. To Tim and the list... After checking, I found that apparently I had not submitted a change of email address for the surname page! It should be timebot@hotmail.com. Same surnames as before though. Of course timebot@(the address I am replying from) is good too, but I don't leave that on web pages because of spam. Good thing you brought my attention to it!

    3. malicious behavior. The problem is catching these guys. This year we added a Firewall that blocks the hackers and it also tells us the exact date, time and the internet address of the computer from which the hacking is occurring. Then with a site called SamSpade we can trace the URL and decode it and get the internet provider for the hacker. That has let us notify the internet services that they have a hacker and tells them which computer was used. Then it is up to them to go after the hackers. They suspend service. Just who is responsible for prosecuting is sort of up in the air. Websites that are attacked do pursue these guys. Harvard Neuro finally started prosecuting and internet service providers do cooperate. The really talented hackers can do a "bounce" though and fake the address of the computer and they can't be easily traced. Most turn out to be college kids just messing around. Our hackers this year have been from all over the nation and we had a couple of them from university computers in Europe. Basically it is our responsibility to protect ourselves. It may not be fair but that is just the way it is. With a good Firewall we can at least prevent damage to our own systems and potentially to those of all our address book contacts. We get an average of two hackers per week now. And a variation on the theme is probing ports to look for ones they can enter. Most are still trying to spread viruses and we keep getting SubSeven Trojan Horse attempts. If you are on the internet you should protect your system. patti shultz > Why can't someone design a virus that will do something good for a change. > And why is there no law against such malicious behavior? > > Terry >
