Happy New Year to all.

If you haven't been on internet discussion groups for long, I thought
I'd let you know about an interesting phenomena that occurs
this time of year. From a post on another list, here's the explanation:

------- begin forward message -------
Beginning this Thursday Night, and continuing through the month of
January, things are going to be kind of crazy on all the RootsWeb Lists.

Why?

Because Santa Claus will have been and gone, and we are about to be joined
by a whole bunch of Brand New Cousins with Brand New Computers and
Brand New On-Line Accounts who will have almost No Idea what they are
doing. <G>

I would like to ask for both your patience and your help during this time
period. Errors will be made (like leaving entire digests in their replies)
and Questions will be asked (such as "What's a <snip>?").

Let us all remember that these were once Our Errors and Our Questions and
that although our New Cousins may know nothing about Computers and
On-Line, many of them will be extremely experienced researchers with
overflowing filing cabinets whose contents may hold Your Ancestors!

Now, that said - for all the newbies - don't hesitate to post. Ask
your question, make your suggestions. We're here to help.

If you have web access, go to Cyndi's list. Check out

Then go back up to her main index and look
around - you'll learn a lot.
