Subject: Genealogy Survey- Last Call!!!

I do not believe it to be
"spam" the message is a notice of availability of a genealogy survey and

the URL is given where it can be filled out and submitted. The message

sells nothing and no mailing list is created from the returns. I am
enclosing a ex. of the header of a survey return from which you will be
able to see the submitted return is done so anonymously:

Subject: GenQuest: Survey

I am also enclosing the message that is being posted and would like you
to make a determination in regards to my ability to post. If you feel
that the message is inappropriate then I will gladly abide by you
decision.

The purpose of distributing the message so much is to make a serious
attempt to insure that the survey is truly representative. Many have
asked me if this survey is for my own personal use and I have responded
that the resutlts will be made available to the general public. Several

editors of publications have ask if the results can be printed for the
benefit of their readers and I have replied that yes, this is fine.

Please let me know your determination in regards to this matter.

Sincerely,
Ron Maloney
