> Dear List Members,
>
> The First Quarterly Report for 2002 is going to be just a little
> different than the one I usually send to the Mailing Lists I take care
> of.
>
> I tore my Rotator Cuff in November of last year and I find that I
> cannot spend long hours typing on the computer during the healing
> process, therefore I am going to send out one message to all of my lists
> and skip posting the membership numbers this time. I promise to get
> back to our normal reporting next quarter. Typing over 200 messages is
> just more than this shoulder and arm can take.
>
> There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of
> us.
>
> 1. If someone posts a message to the list that should not have been
> posted, please just delete it. Know that I am taking care of the
> problem. If you post your unhappiness, then you just continue on the
> problem. I know it is hard when your heart has been offended, but for
> my sake, and the sake of the list, please just delete it. Rootsweb has
> a wonderful Spam Detective and it stops most of it. You should see what
> comes across my screen. I have to look at each of them to make sure
> that what was stopped was truly Spam. Once in a while, one slips by
> though and if this happens, just delete it and go on with what we all
> love, genealogical research.
>
> 2. If you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line it
> might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who
> has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who
> is searching for the information you are posting.
>
> 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you
> re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check
> this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with
> some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to
> receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost
> second cousin with all the answers you are looking for.
>
> 4. The wonderful relationship that develops between list members is
> also one of a Mailing Lists Problems. I encourage you to respond to
> the entire list with genealogical responses, you never know who your
> response will help. In the same thought I would like to ask you to not
> respond to the entire list with personal responses. Such as, the first
> message from a member says "Happy Birthday Mary" and then Mary says
> "Thank you and then about 60 of our members also send "Happy Birthday
> Mary". This is what I mean by personal messages. Just keep in mind
> anything is ok to be posted as long as it has to do with the subject of
> the list. If you have a doubt ask me.
>
> 5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any
> attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are
> taking a chance. If you do notice that one of our members has a virus,
> please do not post their name and e-mail address across the list. Let
> me know and I will take care of the problem. Most likely the member
> already knows and is in a major state of stress. Receiving messages of
> each of us will only cause his or her stress level to rise.
>
> If you are interested in knowing about other mailing list out there, one
> of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John
> Fullers Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at
> http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html
>
> If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any Rootsweb list all
> you need to do is visit Password Central located at
> http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions and you
> will receive an e-mail of all lists you belong to and from it you can
> unsubscribe from the ones you want to. Always know that I will be more
> than happy to help you if you are having problems unsubscribing, you
> only need to ask.
>
> If you would like to visit the Archived messages of this list, go to
> http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and type in the name of the list you would
> like to search.
>
> Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the posting
> of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political
> announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages,
> flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for
> removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at
>
>
> I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your
> willingness to help make this list the success it is.
