Hi Deb, I had no idea you were involved with TMIC in that capacity. I never knew that about you. Surprise, surprise! I am trying to get people involved with us and am struggling to come up with things to discuss. You say that you try to make sure that topics are not talked about over and over, but it's hard to come up with things that are new. What am I supposed to do. At least there are a few more people writing in now. Or is it only that I have just come back? Have people been writing back and forth that you know of? Please let me know. I appreciate your attention. Thank you, Jude, Midhigan In a message dated 1/25/2013 8:00:48 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, dnca...@gmail.com writes:
Hi Jude, No, it has nothing to do with getting spammed. I live on the computer. I do all my work on the computer, I build computers, create the websites, proofread all the TMA articles, etc. I know how to get rid of spam. It is just a matter of hitting the delete button. I have been part of the original tmic list almost since the first emails started going back and forth, back in January, 1997. I have watched people sign up with the list, I have watched people die on the list, I have to talk to people with TM on the phone and internet every single day. That is part of my job. I also have met my closest and dearest friends because of the tmic list. I have monitored the list for 16 years. When there is objectionable material, I notify the proper people, and those emails are deleted so that others who may search the archives for information will not read the objectionable material. I also know that every time an infected email enters my computer (one that has a virus), it has come from somebody on the list who has had their address book hacked. So, when these emails come in to the list, we simply unsubscribe them from the list, so that they are unable to send any more emails to the list until they get their computers fixed. Once they realize that they have not received tmic list emails, it has probably been after they have removed their viruses, and they resubscribe. So, notifying everybody on the list is really just not necessary. I just know when to sit back and not get involved and have learned from my own personal bad experiences when to back off so as not to get insulted by people who think I am “butting in” too much. I also know that some of the same problems and issues that people are experiencing have been discussed and discussed over and over, and people neglect to take advantage of all the wealth of information that has been stored in the archives from all the previous email conversations over the past 16 years, and if they are not going to read all the valuable information, rather ask the same questions over and over on the list, why bother trying to explain again? Anyway, I am sorry that I have created such a long email, but I just wanted you to understand where I am coming from, and it has nothing to do with you, just “experience” has taught me to stay in the background.

Ok, Deb, I do not understand what you're saying. Are you not going to send messages to the group anymore? Is it because you are worried about getting spammed? I have only been spammed a handful, if that, many times over all the years I've been on the computer. We really need your input on TMIC. You're a valuable person with a lot of good information to share. I will understand if you don't want to continue with us, but each person makes a difference and your words count. Your friend, Jude Here's to the nights that turned into mornings, with the friends that turned into family. (unknown) In a message dated 1/25/2013 12:33:41 P.M.

Some people on the list do not have their computers properly protected with anti-virus software, thus their computers are repeatedly hacked. Also, some people have the option marked “automatically add all people to address book”, so my email address gets entered into all these anonymous computers, and when they get a virus, I (and hundreds of other people) receive an infected email. If people wish to be on the internet, they should be responsible for protecting their own computers from these infections, and when one person sends an infected email to the list, suddenly about 20 people will send an email to the list that they need to ignore all messages sent by that one person because it is infected. So, I figure that eventually people will “get it” and I don’t need to involve myself in risking more infections by adding to all those other emails which will only take up precious storage space in the archives. Hope you understand this. Thanks again for all your caring messages to the list.
