1) Several users of these various Lists have complained (rightly
so) that it is very difficult to find non-genealogy Lists at
Rootsweb. Here is some help:

Go to http://www.rootsweb.com

In the section, Exploring Rootsweb, the very last category at
the bottom is "Communities at Rootsweb". Click on "Directory
of Non-Genealogy Categories". There you will find all those
"other" Lists.

You can go directly to the "Communities" here:

http://communities.rootsweb.com/

On that page, you will see about 45 different categories. Here
are the ones in which I found things that might apply to the
users on these Lists:

Computers
Cultures
Sports

Once on the various pages, you will also want to click either
"Lists", "Page", or "-Marks", especially the last one. Some
Lists, web pages, etc., are hidden in these "-Marks" pages.

2) If anyone has tried recently to access Archives for any List,
you have received the reply, "List Not Found". This is an
error. The Archives ARE still there; it's just that a major
overhaul is being done on the Archive software and hard-
ware and the files are off-line right now. I don't know when
they will be available, but I will try to remember to let every-
one know as soon as we Listowners are notified.
