Unlocking Autism Mail craziness | Autism PDD

Sarah DONT send to the list!!!! Everyone that sends to the list address IS feeding the whole system! I wouldnt be surprised if whoever hacked into the system and started the virus is who started the "Lets make it fun and send pictures of our families" too. As long as people send the remove me emails click reply and / or send pics or other messages into the UA Mail list address these 150+ emails a day will NEVER go away!

I dont know if you saw the messages from Shelley so I will post them here.

Our mail boxes here are full as well.  This is AWFUL and I am so unbelievably mad.

We have a whole list of UA Alerts that are planned to go out starting today and obviously CANNOT get those out now with all this going on.  They are to build up activity across the country to coincide with the rally that will be happening next week for parents in particular who will not be able to travel to DC.

According to our web hosting company someone with an IP address that does not correspond with either of the two people that help us with the website somehow got into the listserve that we had to set up because of the whole stupid AOL thing back in June.  As a result, they have developed what is supposedly called a SPOOF email with a virus attached to it.

All of us have scanned all of our computers and none of us have this virus.  Not a one of us.

Please help us tell people that they just need to delete the emails and we will do our best to get our the alerts through NANCALE@aol.com again and hopefully AOL won't cut us off this time.

I guess this is what is to be expected when you mess with the big dogs.  I hate to be a total conspiracy theorist but UA has been sending bulk emails since 1999 with absolutely NO problem until this campaign came out.  Weird isn't it?

ACK...I wonder if there is a vaccine in the works to stop these kind of viruses.

Thank you for your patience and if you can just help us tell people to press delete I would appreciate it.

AND (although I think someone else may have added the top portion)

Sounds like a hacker got into the system.  Just the luck of the draw.  It brought down over half of ezboard and they have over 9,000 message boards.  With some of the individual accounts it took away over half of the individual's post counts.  Funny didn't affect mine on there tho.

Ohh no i didn't see that one, thanks Michelle... i've just been trying to delete now... i actually wanna try and set it up so any  mail from the UA goes to a seperate folder because i don't want off the list, but dayum the mail is getting rediculous.  That way i can just sift through the headlines, delete what needs to be deleted and keep anything from Shelley or Nancy.  Not sure how to do this yet... but i'll figure it out *laughs*

Hey Sarah heres a message I received saying how to go about setting it up to go to a seperate folder... Hope it helps.

Ok to any other parent or a parent of a NT child... Zach would of done HORRIBLE at his evals... especially the one for school, layed on the floor for the first hour and half of the 2 hours we were there and did nothing but cry, whine and roll around.  Normally i wouldn't put up with that, but it's not like i could of just gotten up and left.... i mean i suppose i could of, but you know what i mean.  The waiver one and the SSI one weren't as bad, just a lil' hyper really.  The school did EXACTLY what Zach's psychologist said they would, talk us into sending Him.... but my wonderful Hubby Chris nipped that right in the butt.  He knows that i tend be wishy washy and specially now with Zach and treatment wise.  Found out that once Zach gets on SSI and on medicaid He can get private ST and OT, social worker informed me of that and once the waiver goes through He'll get ABA therapy... i'm going with a company that uses many approaches though, not just ABA.... they do floortime, TEACHH and a few others that i can't remember the names of off the top of my head right now.  So with the news of that.... School will wait another year.... when hopefully through his therapies He will have better coping skills to deal with the social activity there.  Zach really has started to hate social settings... this is new.  They never used to bother him all that much untill recently.  Now lately, people can't even really come visit us too much because He FREAKS out badly.... hides, starts head banging and body slamming himself.  

Jaydin is doing alright.... she has colic *smiles big*  She also was tested... blood test, sucked, but i'm glad i did it... because.... she has Milk protien allergy AND lactose intollerance.  *sighs* and i can't breastfeed, so she's just on isomil and so far it seems to be alright....I know that people might think i'm nuts, but i swear the devil is trying to kill me.... slowly, with sleep deprivation and mal nutrition.  *laughs*  sorry i'm just tired and i miss my husband.  Thanks for asking about us though..... i miss you guys and  chatting. 

Michelle,... Yeah no kidding... I know people are saying ohh it's just some hacker bla bla bla... but that is WAYYYY too convienent with the rally coming up so soon.  I tried to join in the send out some picture thing (i know i know just feeding the whole mess, but figured just one email)  but my emails don't seem to be sending *shrugs*

Anyways... Miss you guys... How's everyone doing?
