Dave,

Thanks for your message but...please refrain from cross posting to
multiple lists like this. Your mail has the potential to generate
1,000's of emails all in response and reresponse to your original mail.
Most mail list subscribers are not savvy about deleting trailing mails or
cc'd lists. For example, your mail generated 5 responses that were
posted to our SOMGEN list -- none of these were from Somerset County
researchers. While I realize that your mail was sent to generate
conversation on a general topic -- it should not have been sent to so
many lists - would have targeted all the county
coordinators in PA and we could have in turn sent your mail onto our own
county lists if we chose to do so.

Sorry to be such a pill ...but as a RootsWeb SysAdmin volunteer - your
mail could have severe repercussions on the stability of the mail list
server.

[A word to recipients of this mail - PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS MAIL
-- OR TO THE ORIGINAL ONE. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT RE: DAVE'S
ORIGINAL MAIL THEN SEND IT TO DIRECTLY AND DELETE THE
CC: LIST!!!!! ed. Carol Hepburn]

Thank you!
