G'Day List
I's like to welcome back Gwen who has just rejoined us.
While I am posting I have a some admin issues to raise.
We have lost a few members recently due to expired ISP email accounts/full
inboxes.
Please remember to keep your email address up to date with the admin of this
or any email forum your on.
It helps reduce administration issues. Full inboxes or apparent expired
email accounts are removed after a set
number of bounces automaticly by the Rootsweb servers under a set of
protocols to keep the server space from
being overloaded.
If you are going on holiday's, please consider if your inbox will handle the
amount of incoming mail while your away.
If not, temporarily unsub til your return.
There have been some issues on a number of Rootsweb lists lately about links
to websites that charge for services
such as Census info, Church records, Cemetery records, Service records,
Maps, occupations, etc etc.
I dont have a problem with members pointing out that a website they found
was useful as long as the discussion does
not involve commercial activity issues. If you are unsure if a conflict
might exist with commercial interests it is a good
idea to check with the list admin of this or any list your on before
posting. Some people when posting these helpful sites
add a disclaimer that they have no connection to the commerical activities
of the site. If you feel you need to cover yourself
with a disclaimer I have no problems with that.
Feel free to discuss Chant family lines or aspects of researching family
history but please! It should be relevant to Chant
family lines research. Discussions of current viruses or Software products
are generally baned across all Rootsweb lists
except for those set up specificly to discus those topics.
Also since Rootsweb changed to the new mailman format our address for
messages is -
CHANT(a)ROOTSWEB.COM
the -L is no longer required and messages using it will stop getting through
in the near future.
to un/subscribe use CHANT-REQUEST(a)ROOTSWEB.COM and the word subscribe or
unsubscribe in the subject line.
nothing else.
This List Admin message is to inform members and was not directed (having a
go at) any one individual, which has in
the past been mistakenly assumed. If you have an admin issue please contact
me off list. Happy Hunting
regards
Michael Cheeseman
