    3. This is a follow up comment to my previous response. And it is not meant to be an attack on the person who made the first post. When I come across such postings, I find it best to try to confirm the information before forwarding it on. As any of you that have received and 'virus alerts' are well aware, not all postings, well intended as they might be, are necessarily correct. Some are even based on a hoax. As I presume most here, I belong to other 'groups' as well as my own. And before I pass along any information, I try to establish it correctness and source. I went to the site (apparently there are at least two 'prefixes' www. www3.). It was open. There was no word of it being closed or restricted. I then went to the LDS official website where I obtained the press release. I am still trying to learn of a source that will provide more current/immediate information. I also contacted the person responsible for the local LDS FHC in my area (I am not Mormon) who heard there were problems (she heard the first day, the site had over 200,000 hits) but not anything indicating it was being closed or restricted to selected users only. I can only say this as speculation, but this is a beta (test) site. And I would think that a large part of that would be trying to determine the amount of traffic the site will have to handle. If this is correct, then such a posting would have a 'negative' affect on the test phase. If the site 'crashes' that is part of the test. It would be my belief that eventually this will be the most hit upon site on the web surpassing even Victoria's Secrets.... Happy Hunting, H.
