This has gone way beyond Spam...
I just got 15 more hits at noon (EDT) on my county board. None on any
surname boards (yet). I've deleted about 50, but there are at least 200 in
my recycle bin. Thank you staff...

She's got to be using some kind of script or something. Is there anything
that Rootsweb/Ancestry/MyFamily can do legally? With all the new internet
laws there should be something. This is to the point of being malicious.
Even if you believe in spam and disagree with the no commercial posting
rules, there is no legitmate reason for posting over 200 identical messages
on one board in less than one week. She's got to be striking out at
Rootsweb/Ancestry for banning her.

Will AT&T/Comcast or whoever do anything? The URL is fateback.com but the
site redirected to is attbi.com
