Howdy everybody!
Just so you will know, from that letter I sent out to everybody, we had 6
people subscribe in less than 12 hours. This looks like it's gonna take
off!
Just a reminder: To post a message, send it to carden-l(a)rootsweb.com
Lisa, Yes, by all means, please the list address to the webpage. You may
make up a short page on how to subscribe, and even put a mailto: link with
the 2 address to make it even easier.
I figure we will give it a few days to get those that want to joined, than
have a roll-call and give everyone an opportunity to post some basic info on
their line, and what they are currently searching for.
As a side note, if you use tag-lines, remember that posting every surname
you are researching is considered bad manners. These lists are archived at
rootsweb, when someone searches for the particular name in your tagline,
they will hit on every post you ever made. Maybe a one-time listing would
be fine. Also, please remember that I am the listowner. Not to sound mean,
but on some of the lists I belong to I have to weed through 5 or 6 messages
a day about people complaining about other people, or complaining about
spam. If you have a complaint, address it to me JIM DANFORTH, and I will
deal with it. I have lots of dirty tricks up my sleeve for spammers and the
like. (I have a T-1 connection at work!) I monitor my e-mail 3-4 times
daily, so it won't take long for me to respond.
Well enough rattling, Let's make this list great!
Jim Danforth
