My name is Debbie Jennings and I have become the new listowner to this
mailing list. I look forward to alot of great researching and genealogy tips
here.
I am also the admin for other lists and have developed the following set of
Guidelines for subscribers to mailing lists. I may be contacted at any time
at
and I will try to reply to you as soon as I possibly can.
Thanks and Happy Hunting!
GUIDELINES for SUBSCRIBERS to a MAIL LIST


PLEASE DO NOT SEND -

* PERSONAL MESSAGES -
POST to the LIST or PERSONALLY to the INDIVIDUAL???
Just ask yourself if most of the people on the list
would want to read it; if so, send it to the list;
otherwise, send it privately.

* PRIVATE MESSAGES sent to you,
without permission from the sender.


* ATTACHMENTS (attached files) of any sort
to mailing lists. This includes GEDCOM files,
zipped files, and any other type of attachment.

* HTML or RTF (rich text format) formatting

LANGUAGE & COMMENTS
Do not use abusive or degrading communication
of any form on a RootsWeb list. Your list
moderator will remove you from the list and
will block your posts from reaching the list.



BASHING - FLAMING
Do not "bash" a list subscriber. If you do not
agree with a mail message, fine.
(There's always the "Delete" key.)
Do not send "bashing" comments to the list.

BE NICE to one another.

CRITICIZING - if you feel someone has acted or said
something inappropriately or have some other
complaint, please refer it to me. Although you
may be upset or irritated by something
occasionally, please refrain from posting
instructions or advice about inappropriate
actions to the list or another subscriber;
doing do just continues the subject endlessly
as each new comment provokes a new response.

SUBJECT LINES-Please use the subject line effectively
list your SURNAME and location if possible.Don't reuse
the subject line.

REPLIES-Please try to post as many replies to the list
as possible. If it is a reply or futher info you think
would benefit the majority then please place on the list.

Following these guidelines helps to provide
a list more enjoyable to all.
