Hi Folks:

The following message is posted for the benefit of "new" members of this
ACADIAN-CAJUN Mailing List and will be re-posted on an ongoing basis.
- -------------------------------------------------------------

Technically, RootsWeb has a "no commercial use" policy. Like all RootsWeb
policies, though, the last thing that we want is for policy to get in the
way of our doing genealogy. Therefore, I will allow brief announcement that
is specific to Acadian and/or Cajun resource material, which includes a
pointer to the URL and/or specifies an e-mail address on an ongoing basis,
on this Mailing List. Do NOT include prices and ordering info; just include
a pointer to a URL, a commercial mailing list, or an e-mail address where
the complete ordering information can be found. I make no distinction
between for-profit, or not-for-profit...advertising, is advertising! In
case of doubt, send me the message...in advance... and
I'll review it and (if appropriate) forward it to the mailing list. While I
will use common sense in determining what is (or is not) appropriate, the
ultimate decision is mine (only) to make.

While it is my intention to keep this Mailing List commercial-free on an
ongoing basis, I recognize that our research is often based on finding that
special book, that special web site, that special census etc. and
therefore, I have designated the first Monday of every month (only), as
"Commercials" Day. Subscribers are encouraged to post ACADIAN-CAJUN
resource material "plugs"...ON THAT DAY ONLY!

PS: That would be Monday, October 4, 1999
