This message was sent by an individual who purchased the domain
usgenweb.us - and set up a server associated with the same domain.
This person is not a member of the USGenWeb Project and is spamming
various lists and now apparently individual members of the Project
seeking support for his business.
If one looks into his website at some point you will see the $$ come
out. This person was on the usgenweb-all mailing list and became
belligerant when almost all of the members speaking there disagreed
with his ideas of how our Project should be run. He has recently been
kicked out of the North CarolinaGenWeb project for among other things
using fake names/ID's in order to procure more sites.
This person is not a friend of the USGenWeb project and apparently is
doing this as a way to confuse the public at large, USGenWeb Project
members, and to get back at those who disagree with him.

Did anyone else receive this message? Know anything about it? I
haven't tried the link yet. Don't click on hyperlinks in mail from
unknown people and few sent by those I know ;-)
TIA,
Sharon

Subject: New list for USGenWeb Members
A new "ALL" list is now available for members of, and contributors to,
the USGenWeb Project, and Projects that are a part of the USGenWeb. The
list is so Members can get to know each other, and for the general
discussion of the USGenWeb. An optional Chat Room comes with the list,
and if it is used it will be upgraded to a more fancy version.
The new list is hosted, supported, and sponsored by Members of the
Project. The list Guidelines were developed by Members and the Admins
of the list are Members. The list is not sponsored by RootsWeb or the
USGenWeb Advisory Board. It's expected to take a week or so before the
word spreads, and the initial batch of members subscribe.
To subscribe send a email to: all-request(a)usgenweb.us
with the SUBJECT of the email being: subscribe
For more information, see the List Info page at:

PS: You are not on a mailing list. I am not one of the list Admins,
this is a one-time emailing from one USGenWeb Member to another. If you
receive more than one copy, you are probably using the USGenWeb with
more than one email addy.
