Hi everyone!
This has been heavy on my heart since Ancestry / Roots Web announcement.
I have been admin / moderator for various mailing lists for 25+ years
(some lists that predate Roots Web). The options for change do not fit
my personal criteria. This is, also, not happening at a time I am able
to give personal time for this change. Plus, I think Ancestry is not
given an adequate “heads up” for this change. (I personally admin 200+
lists) So I have made the decision to become a subscriber as opposed to
an administrator.
I will remain admin to the mailing lists I currently admin till Roots
Web makes the changes they propose on March 2^nd .
I am leaving the decision for change to the list members.
I am still gathering options. I will post suggestions in the next few days.
The major option I am hearing is Facebook. I suppose this could work.
But Facebook, in my humble opinion, would be turning a mailing list into
a message board. And various mailing list members have stated they would
not Facebook. Personally, I am in this bucket. I have personal issues
with Facebook. Open discussion on the list. Voice your opinion.
Enough for now. Will post more on other options in the future.
Susan Penn Groover, List Administrator
