Bad timing, and I do not believe it has anything to do with this new forum setting up. But when I checked my email this evening, there was some suspicious activity. I do not know, but it is possible my email may have been hacked. With a few emails from forum friends about this new site, it would be possible for a hacker to get a few addresses in addition to the several I email with already.
I HAVE NOT RESPONDED to anybody here yesterday or today. A few people that I have been corresponding with will have to wait! I DO NOT intend to respond to anything through email for a few days (sorry Rich, you will have to wait a few days for further comments about the book!). So if you receive ANYTHING from me for a few days? Do NOT trust it.
I suspect I am being overly suspicious, and maybe overly cautious (remember, one is NOT paranoid if they really are out to GET one!)
I have changed my email password, and suspect this will be much ado about nothing.
Better safe than sorry.
I will hopefully be posting here as normal.
WARNING! Potential hack my email.

Re: WARNING! Potential hack my email.
A quick thing to add to your contacts is an email address like "911@xxx.com". If someone has gained access to your contact list and is sending emails to all of your contacts this one will be returned as un-deliverable as it is not a valid email. You can actually make it anything that you know is not valid. I use a number as it is at the top of my contact list and hopefully would be one of the first sent suspicious mail to.
Hopefully you are back up and running soon,
Tom

Re: WARNING! Potential hack my email.
Always do what you can to protect yourself and your property. one little thing you can do is before signing on to the new 2019 forum when you first click on the forum in the address bar and add HTTPS:// to the left of the address at this time you cannot bookmark that link so you must do this every time, a pain but worth the security . JMHO sorry for the long response
Do it right or do it over,your choice. Drive like everyone is out to get you!
