    Thank you for your patience.

    SOME EMAIL ADDY PROVIDERS HAVE BEEN ATTACKED BY ROBBERS
    WHO 'STEAL REAL NAMES' - 'SPOOF THEM' AND
    USE REAL ADDRESSBOOKS TO SEND SPAM.

    Several quilt lists and embroidery lists have
    been hit with ads that look like they are from
    members. Please think before you click to buy from
    a link in these. [don't] 8-)

    I don't send links to buy from.

    **PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNTS HAVE
    COMPLICATED AUTHENTICATION / PASSWORDS.
    a combination of non-words and numbers

    **PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A WORKING ANTIVIRUS
    with an uptodate datafile.

    ** 8-) KEEP YOUR BRAIN IN GEAR, Do not give your information.

    You may also visit the following website supplied by Yahoo
    for useful tools to combat spam: http://antispam.yahoo
