Subject: Sponsorship at RootsWeb
Date: Sun, 06 Jul 1997 19:15:59 -0400


Just thought I would pass this along to all my subscribers. It was
posted to the List for us Listowners and I think it is a good idea.
If you enjoy your Lists and are able to help out a little, Brian and
Karen (the Listmasters at RootsWeb) would be sure to appreciate
it.

******************Start of Copied Message********************

Another way that we can all say Thank You to Brian and Karen is to
send in our own sponsorship to RootsWeb. The money that RootsWeb
gets from it's sponsors goes towards paying for the equipment,
hardware and software that Brian & Karen use to keep things running
for all of us.

Let's all do our part to keep the RootsWeb Genealogical Data
Cooperative moving forward and getting better with each and every
upgrade! Let the members of your mailing list know about the
wonderful service that Karen & Brian provide for us as well.

*****************End of Copied Message*********************

I know that many of you have already sent in contributions.
This message is mainly for you new users who have sub-
scribed in the past 6 weeks or so. When MAISER crashed
and we all lost our Lists, Brian and Karen at RootsWeb
graciously accepted transfer of the Lists to RootsWeb, and
waived the usual costs for Listowners. They had to purchase
an entire new computer system to handle the increased mail
and since have had to add even more hardware and software.
Most of us Listowners mailed in our subscriptions in spite
of the fact that we didn't have to do so. Some of us even sent
in two or more subscriptions.

RootsWeb is the home of ROOTS-L, probably the "premier"
genealogy Newsgroup and List on the Net/Web. RootsWeb
is not a profit-making enterprise -- it exists because Brian
and Karen believe in what they do, and because of their
charitable nature. Both have full-time jobs and handle all
the necessary chores of keeping RootsWeb working in
their spare time. (I, for one, don't believe they really have
any "spare time".)

So, if YOU feel charitable, please go to the URL mentioned
above and check out the various subscription plans. You
will surely find one that fits your budget. If I have any millionaire
subscribers on any of my Lists, you can send in fifty thousand
or so and we'll all appreciate it. (Just kidding -- GRIN!)

Happy Hunting and Enjoy the Lists,
SgtGeorge
