*********WELCOME to the ZIMMERMAN Discussion List******
My name is Yvonne James-Henderson, I'm the "owner" of this list.
That means I'm responsible for keeping it running as smoothly as
possible and setting some rules for its operation.
If you are reading this now..you are subscribed! You are currently
subscribed in "mail mode", which means that you will receive every
posting made to COOKSEY as a separate e-mail. The directions on how to
change to digest mode are given below.
This is a discussion area for anyone who has an interest in genealogy
related to the ZIMMERMAN Family. Discussion here should be in relation
to your ZIMMERMAN and any other possible spelling of your
ancestors' and related families and localities.
We all owe a big "Thank You" to RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative
http://www.rootsweb.com/ for adopting our Discussion List and to Larry
Stephens, for everything he has done for on-line genealogy.
******************YOUR RESPONSIBLITIES ******************
That's right, you have some responsibilities, too.
A mail list isn't like a movie, where you just buy a ticket, get
entertained (sometimes) then walk away. This is a cooperative effort.
1. Keep this message. PRINT AND SAVE IT! Trust me, I learned the
hard way! I recommend printing it and putting the paper where you can
find it. Files on a hard disk get lost (as if paper doesn't, but...)
2. Read this message. Yes, it's a little long, but you don't have to
memorize it (that's why you're saving it). It's hard to make it
short and tell you what you need to know.
3. Don't be afraid of all this. Using a computer is a little harder than
just knowing where the power switch is, but anyone can do this with
a little effort and by following instructions.
4. Follow instructions - to the letter. If you leave something out of a
command or put something extra in, it probably won't work.
5. If you decide to leave the list, make sure your name is removed (more
on this below). The server that sends you this list handles thousands
of messages a day. If your address becomes "bad" (for instance, you
quit AOL but we think you're still there) then we start getting
bounced messages. We get thousands a day now. Please don't make it
worse.
6. Remember these addresses:
a. IF YOU NEED HELP, CONTACT ME. My address is:
daisy(a)usroots.com
7. How to unsubscribe. Send a message to:
ZIMMERMAN-L-request(a)rootsweb.com
that contains (in the body of the message) the command
unsubscribe
and no additional text.
8. How to subscribe. Whatever you just did worked, or you'd
not be getting this message. But for future reference (for instance,
if your subscription is cancelled for whatever reason and you
want to resubscribe), just send the command "subscribe" to
ZIMMERMAN-L-request(a)rootsweb.com.
9. How to change to digest mode (several postings are combined and
sent to you together as a single large message). There are two
steps. First, send the command "unsubscribe" to
ZIMMERMAN-L-request(a)rootsweb.com to discontinue mail mode. Second,
send the command "subscribe" to ZIMMERMAN-D-request(a)rootsweb.com
to start receiving digests.
10. How to change to NOMAIL mode. There is no formal NOMAIL mode.
All you have to do is follow the directions above and unsubscribe
when you want the messages to stop, and then when you want them
to start again, simply subscribe again.
11. Posting: If you'd like to post a message so everyone on the mailing
list receives it, just send it to ZIMMERMAN-L(a)rootsweb.com It
will then be sent on to everyone in both mail and digest mode.
You don't need to send it explicitly to both.
For your verification, a transcript of the original subscription
request is included below.
