We like to think of our USNA-Net organization as an informative and friendly place for our members to keep up with things going on at the Yard and to share our experiences with each other, making being a Parent of a Midshipman a more rewarding and fulfilling experience for all of our members. We all come to this extended family with different points of view and expectations. Some want only the information. Others need our daily "fix" of what's happening. Still others, need serious advice and support during a family or personal crisis. We certainly hope that our lists give each of our members something of value in return for the time we all spend reading and writing to our many lists. We also understand that the volume can be overwhelming at times. With Plebe Summer coming to an end, the message volume will subside on the Plebe list but remember, with over 3,000 families subscribed, the number of messages sent each day will still be more than some can handle. Please be understanding and delete those messages in which you are not interested. Occasionally, a problem arises which necessitates the intervention of the Moderators and the application of our Rules of Operation. These rules are in place to make our lists a pleasant place for all our members no matter what their expectations. They maintain our focus and keep this large organization of over 3,000 different families on track and working well for everyone. IMPORTANT.... Recently, it came to our attention that a few members have been sending out Private email in which they have been critical of other members, criticizing them about what they write to the lists, flaming others and generally being disrespectful of other members via private email. Even though our Rules are very explicit about not flaming others on our lists or never sending out reprimands for what members post to the lists, we realized that our Rules are not as explicit about what actions will be taken if a member is reported doing this. We have therefore added a "clarification" to our Rules so that everyone is perfectly clear that Personal Attacks will not be tolerated. Since we have no way of knowing just how many of these Personal Attacks actually take place "off-net" between private members, we have adopted a zero tolerance for such messages. In the future, all reports of such attacks (either publicly on the lists or via private email) will be dealt with immediately and will result in the immediate termination of the offending member's membership in all USNA-Net lists, even on the first offense. There is never an excuse for one member to attack another for any reason. Having said that, we want to make sure that all of our members understand that we have revised our Rules of Operation (#4 Personal Attacks) to reflect our position on this matter. While we certainly know that personal attacks are a rare situation, we want all of you to know that we will enforce our Rules to make this place as warm and friendly an organization as can be found for Parents of Midshipmen. If you have questions or know of a situation which warrants our attention in this regard, we invite you to email us privately. Your Board of Advisors guarantee that each and every correspondence will be treated with the utmost confidentiality. As we all look forward to the Reform of the Brigade and the beginning of a new Academic Year, we hope that our Net Family can rest comfortably in the knowledge that our lists are the best place to share Advice and Support to be found on the Internet. Best wishes for a great new Academic Year.

As most of you are aware by now, there is a massive power outage in the North-East. Please be assured that our USNA-Net servers are located in a commercial data center that has adequate backup power. Our servers are in an area (Northern Virginia) that is not effected by the outage. We do not anticipate any direct problems as a result of this situation. However, Mike and Sandi Zets, who live in the Cleveland area, are down for the duration and will not be answering any e-mails or responding to administrative requests. In addition to the outage, Mike and Sandi will be in Annapolis over the weekend, attending a wedding in the Chapel. Therefore, routine messages will not be answered until the first of next week. Urgent administrative issues may be addressed to ralbrecht@usna-net.org, but I am not set up to handle the full load of routine requests. The Safe Harbor phone system is up and working. We do not anticipate any interruption in this service. Please bear with us during this power situation.

DOZENS OF USNA-NET MEMBERS ALREADY INFECTED! =================================================== Now that we have your attention, IT'S TRUE. Please take the time to read this entire message. It's REALLY IMPORTANT. The latest strain of Computer virus can attack your home computer just by you being connected to the Internet visiting your favorite web site. It attacks through a flaw in the Windows Operating System. If you are running Windows XP or any of the Windows 2000/NT Operating Systems, you must take the time to install the critical updates from Microsoft because this latest threat will allow your computer to be attacked, infected and damaged, simply by connecting to the internet. It exploits a defect in Windows which allows others on the internet to find, invade and take over your computer at will. There is a FREE patch which must be installed to prevent this. You should open your Microsoft Internet Explorer (your Browser) and Click on "Tools" in the top menu and then "Windows Update." Follow the instructions to install all of the Service packs and patches it will tell you that you need. =================================================== OTHER VIRUSES POSE EVEN GREATER THREAT !!! =================================================== Recently, a growing number of our members have become infected with a variety of viruses and have been spreading them like wildfire each time they turn on their computers. YOU NEED TO PROTECT YOURSELF... Here's how.... 1.) Get and install AntiVirus Software (AVS) TODAY!!! It is only a matter of time before a virus hits your computer and destroys it. New viruses are being made everyday and if you don't have AVS installed and updated almost daily, YOU ARE AT RISK. Not the kid down the street. YOU! 2.) You need CURRENT AVS. Last year's AVS is worse than no AVS at all because you think you're protected, but you're not. If your AVS hasn't updated itself in the past 48 hours, YOU'RE AT RISK. 3.) Empty out all those unneeded addresses in your address book. If you do become infected, you won't spread the virus to as many people with fewer names in your book. 4.) NEVER open an attachment to email (even from a friend or relative) that you're not expecting and recognize the contents of before you open it. When in doubt, DELETE. 5.) Remember that infections almost always come FROM SOMEONE YOU KNOW. Your address won't be in the address book of strangers. You will become infected by being careless for just a split second, trusting email from a friend and then BANG! You've got a bug that will spread to everyone in YOUR address book and destroy your computer after it spreads. Right now, at least two dozen of our members are infected. Would you rather spend a few bucks today to protect your investment or pay someone to fix (or REPLACE!!!) your computer in a few more days or weeks when a virus destroys it??? To that end, we suggest that if you need to obtain AVS for your computer. You can find a copy at any local store which sells computer software or buy it on-line in our USNA-Net bookstore for as little as 9 dollars. Both Norton and McAffee make excellent packages which, once properly installed, will automatically update themselves with the latest V1RUS data to fight infection for the next year. If you are already infected, be sure to read and follow the instructions in the manual BEFORE you attempt to install the AVS. As a responsible member of USNA-Net you are expected to have current AVS installed on your computer. To protect yourself AND everyone in your address book. You place all of them at risk by not being protected. It's only a matter of time until you get a virus. Will YOU be protected?

Please visit the site and let Ronnie know what a great resource he has put up for his club members. You can find the Oklahoma site at the above link or by visiting our USNA-Net web site at www.USNA.org and clicking on the "Parents' Club Web Sites" link in our main menu. While your at it, please be sure to click on all of the club web site links in the Map of the US. Each Yellow State represents a web site for a club in that area. for a total of 40 web sites operated by local Parents' Clubs around the nation, probably one near you. While you're surfing all these sites, we also want you to be sure to visit another new site for the Naval Academy Parents' Club of San Diego. Go to http://sdparents.gousna.net/ or click on Southern California on our US Map for their new site as well. Welcome Aboard to both of these newest additions to our Internet family. Go Navy...

If your club wants it's own web site, remember that USNA-Net will register a domain and host your site for FREE, no strings attached. Contact me for more information and complete details. Think of the postage it will save you by posting your newsletter and membership directory on your very own web site instead of printing and mailing all that paper all the time.
