Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
I just recieved this from one of my other lists. I've included the whole
thing as on the bottom is where the 'OK' is for this email to be sent to
others.

Hey Gang,
This information was shared with me and I am forwarding it---
We all need to inform our fellow researchers of Broderbund's census
information.
1) At GenealogyLibrary.com, the 1810 census information they present
transposes the male and female columns. By that I mean, the first five
numbers they show are for females, the second five numbers are for male.
This is contrary to the actual census reports that list the males in the
first five columns and the females in the second five columns.
2) I just learned today that Broderbund's CD312, Census Index for Selected
US Counties, 1800, also has the male and female columns transposed.
As a result of these findings, I would consider any Broderbund products that
list census reports from 1800 to 1840 to be suspect at best.
Please pass this information on to your fellow researchers. An e-mail was
sent
to Broderbund when the errors were found in the 1810 index, no response as
of yet.
This does not make their information useless, you simply have to
reverse the columns.

Dear Friends,
I have just read and signed the online petition:
"National Cemetery Protection Act"
hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition
service, at:
http://www.petitiononline.com/sg0001/petition.html
I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might
agree, too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider
signing yourself.
Best wishes,
