2c. VIRUSES, WORMS, AND HOAXES. Educate yourself about viruses and worms
because they do not go away. They are a constant threat and could
destroy your valuable genealogical material. You will not receive any of
these varmints from RootsWeb's mailing lists because all posts to them
must be in plain text and they can not contain attachments, but you
might be fooled into thinking so by some of these nasty critters that
can forge (spoof) the "From" address.
