Dear List Members:

This message is of HIGH IMPORTANCE, but is NOT to be further discussed on
this list.  Any comments you have should be sent directly to:

Joan Young,
or
Don Hartman,

The following message was sent to all Rootsweb List administrators, and we
were directed to pass it along to list members:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>From Rootsweb Staff:

"This is a period of intense political times when emotions and opinions will
run high in many directions.

"The simple issue is that RootsWeb is for genealogical research and not for
political discussions.  Equivalent political situations have been known to
cause significant disturbances and needed intervention by admins and
occasionally by Rootsweb staff."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We the list administrators have been directed by RootsWeb to reinforce where
necessary to our subscribers the basis of the mailing lists and their
provision by RootsWeb to users, and, where necessary, take actions to
maintain the focus of mailing lists.

Therefore, any references to the present political situation will result in
being unsubscribed from the list. 

Your anticipated cooperation is appreciated.

Let's keep these lists as a "haven" - a place where we can go to do our
research, and where we can leave the outside world "outside". If you choose
to discuss the current situation with list member friends, please do so
directly and not on the list.

Thanks!

Joan Young
