*sigh* Is there any limit to how low spammers will go? The kicker is the lie

that makes it sound as if the owner of this list is responsable for their

garbage and suggests that members unsubscribe from the group if they don't

want spams.



A small suggestion as I moderate two other Yahoo lists where we've had

similar spam troubles. Set it so all new members are moderated upon

subscribing. That way the spammers can't join the group and instantly spam

it. Then the moderators/owner can unmoderate the legit members at their

leisure. It's worked on the two lists I moderate.

Sorry, all, about another Spam message.



I have taken Mr Morris' advice and I have set the list so all new

members must have posts moderated.  I hope that'll keep the spam out.



Thanks Brian!



Brian

Hey guys!



I'm tentatively scheduled to do some signings up in Chambersburg (I believe)

and at the Antietam NBP bookstore.  July 23 and 24.  For those of you who

live up yonder, I'd love for ya to drop by.



I'll keep you posted as things get firmed up!
