From time to time I get messages from some well-meaning folks alerting
me
to such-and-such a virus that's being spread by email messages. So far,
none of those messages have reached this list, and I hope they don't. I
have seen dozens of such messages on various lists, and they all have been
hoaxes.
If you get such a message, please do not forward it onto this list. If you
are concerned, email me privately, and I'll be glad to check it out with
our computer experts on campus (Eastern Kentucky University). The true
virus about these messages is that they get repeated over and over again,
as people forward them to all their email lists, and they cause untold
problems clogging up inboxes, and causing storage problems at places like
RootsWeb, which is the host for this list.
In all my years working with email, I have never seen a virus transmitted
this way. If you are concerned, as you should be, get a good virus
protection program that will screen all your incoming messages. True
viruses don't announce themselves in advance.
I'll transmit a new Who We Are list later tonight or tomorrow. After that I
am going to place the list on a web page which you can access when you
wish. I'll let you know what the address is when I've had a chance to load
it. Once there, you'll be able to use the search feature in your browser
(usually CTRL-F) to search the page for any surnames you are interested in.
If you would like to be on the list, send me your name, email address,
location, and Adams Co. surnames you are researching (in the following
format please - it makes it easier to cut and paste into the list):
Tim Singleton, tsingleton(a)iclub.org
Richmond, KY
SINGLETON, MANN, KIESS, MCCONNEHEY, MEWHORTER, WARNER
The newest additions to the list will be marked with an asterisk. Thanks.
