To all concerned about the spam or trash mail.....
That type of "thing" is not allowed on the list or the message boards.
But unfortunately some junk or spam does make it through to the list.
Rootsweb works really hard to try and prevent it.
One way that everyone can help is to NOT reply back to list to make a
comment about the offensive posting especially without cropping the problem
message in the first place. All that does is send another copy of the trash
or spam back through the list and into the archives along with the reply or
complaint about the junk mail.
The administrators of the email lists get a copy of the trash/spam mail
also, and then we do our jobs to make sure the email address/sender is
flagged as spam and then blocked from the list.
As to the other question, Yes there are people on this list. Currently there
are over 120 subscribers to the Delaware County Email list. I am not sure as
to the reasoning behind your statement that no one says a word when a
Genealogical question is asked.???? I feel that the Delaware County Email
list is one of the most helpful and friendly bunch of researchers out there.
If you have posted a question and didn't get any responses, I am sorry and
would ask that you post again. It could have been that your message didn't
post to the list or it was missed. Also keep in mind that some questions are
answered off list.
I hope everyone has a NICE and SAFE Memorial Weekend!

It's very interesting to me that this type of thing is allowed on
this
list
but when someone asks a legitimate genealogical question nobody says a
word. Is there even anyone on this list?
