Hi All,
Rootsweb, the people who look after the servers, have stated:-
<<“That during this period of intense political times when emotions and
opinions will run high in many directions NO political discussion at all
will be allowed on any Rootsweb Mailing List.
The simple issue is that RootsWeb is for genealogical research and not for
political discussions.
Rootsweb asks all admins to reinforce where necessary to their subscribers
the basis of the mailing lists and their provision by RootsWeb to users,
and, where necessary, take reasonable actions to maintain the focus of
mailing lists.”>>
So, do please bear in mind that the lists that we and other admininister,
have subscribers in many of the countries which may be involved (on both
sides)
in a future conflict and not everyone may hold the same views as yourself.
We hope that you understand that we will not tolerate any backlash towards
people with whom we have the greatest respect, both for their genealogical
knowledge and their helpfulness to others on the lists.
Please remember that that the two most inflamatory subjects in an exchange
of views are Politics and Religion.
Anybody who chooses to ignore this request from Rootsweb will be
unsubcribed.
Regards,
Carol & Julie
List Admins.
