The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
Gloria,
Seems to be a rash of bug/worm related emails going out. I have a mailwasher
program (free) so I can delete the emails before they get to my computer
mailbox.
Got several strange emails this morning that I got rid of.
Thanks for the heads up.

Hi everyone, just checked my yahoo.com mail and have in my spam box emails
from many addresses of our members including one from me to me that have

This seems like a brand new batch of them. So my email is included along

There are some from Bill and Sharon also and they are the same file size and

From: Ron & Kathy
Fellow GA Members,
I am not sure if this passes the decorum rules.
If not I do apologize.
But I wanted to say something on our list, mostly
due to the fact that many people are not on the
National DISCUSS-L list.
I have raised a question of concern for me and
I know from others, because I have heard from others.
It is the problems that our SC, Tim Stowell, is currently
going through at the hands of the NC and some Board
Members. I understand as well that there are some, even
within GA, that have sent grievances of sort to the Board, which is
their right to do so.
My problem with all of this is not that some feel the need for settleing
problems they may have, but my concern is the stance that the NC and the
Board have taken with regard to their imposing penalties for offenses
not covered by any standing rules.
It is the responsibility of the Board to mediate grievances and to also
try and keep things running smoothly. However, when it comes to
penalties, there are very few things that are allowed. Tim has been
penalized with a vote of MNIGS against him. It is my contention that
this was done unfairly and without just cause.
I have posted questions on the DISCUSS-L list asking for someone to post
the rules, regulations, standards, Bylaws or whatever was used as a
bases for voting someone MNIGS. There has been no response. I am
fairly certain that there will not be a satisfactory response to my
inquiries because NO rulings or laws exist.
The infraction used was, not turning over control of the Domains to the
NC. While this may be frustrating for the NC, and while it may be
questionable by many, it still remains a non-punishable issue. The
reason is the problem is based more on personal feelings rather than
proper procedures. The AB is free to create such procedures and place
them into effect, but as it stands, what has happened in this case is
not right and needs to be reversed.
Does Tim need to turn over control of the Domains to the NC? Maybe. I
am sure it would be preferred by the NC, but does it affect the Project
as a whole and it's daily operation? No! Is there a rule or Bylaw that
can be applied to doing so? No!
Tim has always been firm in his convictions and pretty outspoken. Of
course, like most of us, he has also been known to be wrong on occasion.
That is not an attack against him but it is a fact that we all must
accept. We are not always right. But being wrong is not and should not
be a crime. I am wrong a lot. But I ALWAYS try to do what is right.
And if it means apologizing and changing my opinions, then so be it.
I say all this to show that what the NC and AB have done is to wrongly
penalize someone without a law or rule to stand on. I want the Project
to be perfect and to be run by perfect people, but I would never suggest
that all the AB Members be voted as MNIGS just because they make bad
judgements. It isn't a crime to be wrong. But when it is wrong, it
should be corrected.
Remember, if it can happen to Tim who served the Project as NC and has
been a Member forever, then believe it when I tell you, it
can just as easily happen to any one of us. One thing that the NC
and/or AB doesn't like about something you say or something you do and
they can vote to have you placed in MNIGS.
Why? Because they can!
They asked Tim for something and he has hesitated to follow through with
their complete request. Does he have a mandate to
do so? No! Will he harm the Project by hesitating? No!
Will anyone in the Project be the worse for it? No!
Should he do it? Maybe, but to be punished for not doing it? No!
The AB needs to rethink what they are doing. They are setting a bad
example for all of us. Do what we say, or else!
I am sending a copy of this to the Board.
Unless you want to see this continue to happen to anyone that does not
jump when the AB says to jump, I wouls suggest you contact your AB Rep
and let them know that using punishments without guidelines is wrong.
And that you would appreciate them reconsidering the actions they are
taking.
Of course, if you don't care, then you are also free to sit back and do
and say nothing. The best way for evil to flourish is for Good men and
women to do nothing.
You may not agree with Tim's decision to not turn over control to the
NC, and you may have other issues with him. But if people don't start
speaking out, it won't be long until there will be more and more rules
about what you can't do with greater punishments, than there is freedom
to have fun, which is why most of us are here. Or at least why we
started.
Think about it. It could be you, or me.
Forget about your personal feelings about the person. Think only on the
actions taken without authority. Why do we let it happen? I for one
will speak out. I hope you will too.

From time to time, as SC, I have duties that are less pleasant than other
duties. My favorite duties are first in helping people as they seek their
roots and secondly, in welcoming new CC's to the GAGenWeb family.
Tonight, I have had to perform one of those duties that I would prefer could
be passed along to someone else. However in so doing, it would ruin their
day and I would not fulfilling my responsibility to the researchers and the
rest of you.
It is no secret that some CC's are extremely disgruntled and unhappy
in the GAGenWeb Project. Their feelings are burdensome to them and to us as
a whole. Sometimes, you must pick between the burden of a few against the
burden they impose on the many. Tonight, the ASC's and myself have seen the
need to relieve some of their burden because of the burden they are imposing
upon the remaining family members of the project. This is not a decision
that we took lightly, nor is it a decision that we are interested in
discussing with anyone else. The Council received notice of this action an
hour or so ago, so the RCs of the individuals received notice of this action
at that time.
We thank you in advance for your understanding on this issue.
The decision has been made to de-link the counties maintained by co-CCs
Sylvia
Rankin and Linda Geiger along with Debra Crosby. Their contributions to the
GAGenWeb Project are appreciated. They will be missed. They have already
been unsubscribed from this list, so any goodbyes will have to be said
individually.
In closing, the ASC's and I wish to thank each and every one of you for the
great jobs that you do with your pages. It is because of each of you that
the GAGenWeb Project is the success that it is. We know this and appreciate
this. We also understand that the project needs you more than you need
the project. For all of your sacrifices, we thank you.

imposing penalties for offenses not covered by any standing rules.
It is the responsibility of the Board to mediate grievances and to
also try and keep things running smoothly. However, when it comes
to penalties, there are very few things that are allowed. Tim has
been penalized with a vote of MNIGS against him. It is my contention
that this was done unfairly and without just cause.
I have posted questions on the DISCUSS-L list asking for someone
to post the rules, regulations, standards, Bylaws or whatever was
used as a bases for voting someone MNIGS. There has been no
response. I am fairly certain that there will not be a satisfactory
response to my inquiries because NO rulings or laws exist.
The infraction used was, not turning over control of the Domains to
the NC. While this may be frustrating for the NC, and while it may
be questionable by many, it still remains a non-punishable issue. The
reason is the problem is based more on personal feelings rather than
proper procedures. The AB is free to create such procedures and
place them into effect, but as it stands, what has happened in this case
is not right and needs to be reversed.
Does Tim need to turn over control of the Domains to the NC?
Maybe. I am sure it would be preferred by the NC, but does it
affect the Project as a whole and it's daily operation? No! Is
there a rule or Bylaw that can be applied to doing so? No!
Tim has always been firm in his convictions and pretty outspoken.
Of course, like most of us, he has also been known to be wrong

From time to time folks email rejects to the list administrator - for
various reasons:
- full mailbox
- ISP down at the time the email was sent
- ISP rejecting mail from Rootsweb (AOL and assorted ISPs do this from time
to time)
- route to host not found (ISP may be up but another server may have
forgotten the ISP's DNS (internet address) or due to a DNS number change of
the ISP.
- address unknown (not sure why this happens but it does, even for valid
addresses)
I don't check every reject every day, try to do them in batches. If an
address bounces once - ie someone else was sending mail and email to your
address bounces back to me I make note of it for it is most likely one of
the reasons above. When it reaches 3, I realize that it may be some other
reason that isn't going to fix itself.
If you send a message and it rejects, those get a higher priority for they
are the original notes to the list.
I'm replying this way for when I went to download my mail this evening, I
discovered that my ISP must have had a problem this evening for all email
that was in my inbox as of this afternoon has vanished - started arriving
again after 8 PM Thursday - so I've got a support call into them.
I don't want to get double mail when they fix it, although I will try to
answer any mail I see, before going to bed.
To all SEMA CC's -
The SEMA CC's have not heard from me on this issue as it just became a
motion on Saturday, May 15th. I was out of town at the time. On
Monday, May 17th, the day I returned, a move was made to table the
motion.
What is currently being voted on is whether or not to table Motion 4-13.
http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/BOARD/2004-05/1084808548
Tabling the motion could possibly prevent the voters of The USGenWeb
Project from voting on the proposed Bylaws revisions during this
election cycle.
http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/BOARD/2004-05/1084906907
The AB does not vote to approve or not approve the bylaws revisions
themselves, the motion 4-13 is to vote whether or not to present the
proposed revisions as they are to the voters in order for the vote for
or against the proposed revisions to be included in the upcoming
election period.

Ms. Barton wrote and asked what the list rules were since she had been
placed on moderation. Upon recital of these rules, no person who is a
member of the list will be on moderation.
At some point back I had stated the rules for the list were being lifted
for a short time so that folks could speak frankly about a couple of issues
that needed to be discussed.
At no time has it been permissible to question another coordinator's site
in this public forum. Even when it became an issue here and after the ASC
asked that any other comments be directed privately to her, some persisted.
So let me re-iterate the rules of decorum for this list.
If you have a problem with a county site other than your own, please first
contact the CC, for they may not realize a problem exists. If you do not
get a reply within a reasonable amount of time (reasonable being
subjective, but let's say a few days), contact the CC's RC or myself
regarding the problem. Do not air the problem here.
If you are having difficulty with your own site and seek assistance in
resolving it, you may ask here, your RC or myself.
While everyone who is a member of GAGenWeb is supposed to be subscribed
here, I do on occasion let folks be unsubbed (vacation, computer problems,
illness) where they don't want their email to overflow while these items
are occurring. While each member is subscribed here, does not necessarily
mean you will have unlimited posting privileges for with rights come
responsibilities.
Members are encouraged to post tidbits of information received, sources
discovered, items of general interest. The list is not for bashing your
fellow coordinator. Announcements will be made here from time to time,
either by myself, the ASCs, Ron's census report, the GAGenWeb list review
person and AB reps.
Items that reject to me as list moderator will be forwarded to the list,
when I come across it, if it meets the decorum test. Those that do not will
be returned to the sender to modify or trash. Since the RCs and myself are
also CCs, we are to abide by the same rules. Please feel free to call us
on it - privately, when we fail the decorum test.

Annandale At Suwanee, Inc.
Suwanee, Georgia
History:
Annandale was founded by Dr. and Mrs. Maxwell Berry, Jr., parents of a
daughter with developmental disabilities, at a time when options were very
limited. Based on extensive personal research, the Berrys' believed the
European Village concept could be successfully adapted in Georgia to create
a positive, productive and rewarding living experience. Ninety-eight (98)
acres were purchased with donated funds, and Annandale was officially
incorporated in 1969.
Since that time, Dr. and Mrs. Berry's vision has become reality, making
possible a desirable quality of life for men and women from different
geographical areas and socio-economic backgrounds. The Village now
encompasses 136 acres and can serve 102 residential clients, as well as
non-residential clients, and includes over 20 buildings and operates 365
days a year.
Campus:
Terrain:
Rolling hills, woodlands, orchards, vineyards, pastures, nature trails, a
lake, and a farm provide a tranquil and appealing setting. Natural and
landscaped areas create an outdoor environment that is beautiful in all
seasons.

I may have sent that last off too soon. There is also an Annandale here in
the Suwanee Georgia area where I live. It is not however a school for
special needs children but rather an assisted living facility for ADULTS
WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. These folks are not children, in point of
fact they shop in many of the same stores I do but do have special needs.

p.s. in either case the original misses at least one syllable and in the
case of the later two. I am not aware of what is at the Anandale in
Habersham county but the one here is definitely not a children's facility.
They do group activities similar to what a school or rest home would do but
most of the folks are in their 20's, 30's and 40's. They do have resident
staff.

I suspect they are looking for Anandale (note spelling difference) in
Habersham County not far from Clarksville Georgia. Just south of the Rabun
County Line.
