Hello Fellow Listers, I am writing to appologize for your mailbox being filled with this person's e-mail. He has literally signed up to EVERY mailing list in Wisconsin and sends mail to all of them at once. Signing up to the lists aren't the problem, the way he is going about it can cause the system to crash. I am not trying to tell any of you what to do, but I urge you not to reply to him. I had someone who is seriously researching one of those surnames reply to him and it turns out he is only after trashing Rootsweb. I was notified from my cousin who has one of the surnames he was researching on her husband's side. She was excited in finding what she thought would be a connection and only turned out to be a person wishing for the demise of our mailing lists on Rootsweb. Being the list owner of these mailing lists, I have taken the actions I could to block him out, however as many of you know, AOL members can have several accounts and can change names daily, so it is almost impossible to stop him without AOL stopping him, which is currently being worked on as I type this. Please keep in mind, no one has a problem with him signing up to every mailing list, heck that is up to him, but when his intentions are strictly to destroy it, he needs to be stopped and not encouraged, Happy New Year one and all, Debie At 03:40 PM 12/30/99 EST, you wrote: >Hello All, > Sorry for the trouble, but some kook sabotaged my e-mail subscriptions to >the Rootsweb.com mailing lists.
