Hello all!
[If you are receiving this post, it means that you have somehow gotten
yourself subscribed to a genealogy mailing list at
Rootsweb.com. If you
are having trouble unsubscribing from the list and wish to, please reply to
me at christib(a)satx.rr.com , quoting this email, INCLUDING ALL HEADERS, and
let me know that you want to be removed from the list.]
Hello and happy fall everyone! First, I want to thank each and every one of
you for subscribing to this Rootsweb genealogy list. It is time now for a
brief word from our sponsor :)
List rules:
1. No Rootsweb lists can accept HTML or Rich Text (RTF) formatted email or
attachments. Please make sure all email is in plain text format before
sending to the list. (For more help on setting up your email program to send
text only messages, please visit
http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/listowners/html-off.htm )
2 When responding to a list email, please change the subject line to
reflect and changes in topic. This prevents someone from missing something
important and keeps us on track.
3. When posting a query, please be as specific as possible in your subject
line. Subject lines such as: "Surname query" will most likely be deleted by
the majority of list members, however subject lines such as "Smith, John;
London, ENG>Columbus, OH; 1800-1910" will attract the attention of anyone
researching that particular person. Another example is this: "Smith family:
John of London, 1800-1910>Sally of Columbus, 1905-present".
4. Please feel free to visit the surname resource pages at Rootsweb as well
as our personal mailing list pages by going to
http://www.rootsweb.com and
clicking on Surname Resources for the Rootsweb page and to the Mailing list
jump page at
http://jadis.dartech.org/genealogy and selecting the list name
for our personal mailing list pages.
5. If you wish to respond to the entire list, just send your message. If
you want to respond to ONLY the person who sent the message, you will need
to change the "to" line in your email to be that person's address instead
of
the list address.
6. If you have a problem with another list member, please do not post to
the list but rather send email to the listowner (christib(a)satx.rr.com) and
we will handle it off list. Flaming is NOT allowed and any persons
responsible for on-list flaming will have their posting ability immediately
removed.
7. DO NOT forward Chain letters, off-topic posts, or virus alerts to the
list. This is cause for removal from the mailing list. There are two
sites listed below that deal with these potential hoaxes. Please check one
of them and then email the listowner if you are still concerned. If there
is cause for real alarm, she will address the list.

8. DO NOT forward other people's mail, email or copyrighted information to
the list at any time without specific permission of the author (and
clearance from the listowner). This is another cause for removal from the
mailing list. This prevents "information stealing" and hurt feelings on the
list. If you receive, personally, a query that you think the list might
help with, please send it to me and let me forward it on.
9. DO NOT attempt to sell, advertise or distribute products to the list
members without prior authorization from the listowner. Doing so is cause
for immediate removal from the list. If you have a genealogy book you have
written, or other such materials that you wish to let people know about,
please alert the listowner for further instructions.
10. If you would like to read through the archives of this or any other
list, please visit:
http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl
If anyone has issues with the above rules, please feel free to contact me
via email and we can discuss it. If there are large "uprisings" about some
of the rules, we will vote on action on the list, but it must first be
discussed with the listowner off-list.
Again, thanks to all for making these lists what they are today! Now, back
to GENEALOGY!!!
