A mailing list is a group of >people researching the same surname/ subject / or area of land, as the >list's name. The email you send to the list goes out individually to each >member of the list (including a copy back to you) from the server. We >should email to the list address with who we are, whom / what we are trying >to find and or what we would like to share with others. If like myself you >have lots to offer then you state what you have and are willing to share. >If you read an email that you can help with, then answer that email. >Directly if you want to, but I ask that it be sent to the list so that all >may share the information. (a copy is also stored in the archives.) > >If you find a website or anything that may help another member then send >part of the info and the URL to the mailing list. > >When answering by reply to an email keep that subject in the subject line, >but delete most of the first message so that it doesn't take up so much >room. This keeps the messages together in the archives and uses less memory >space. Change subject line when the body of the subject changes. Use >subject lines accurately, in other words not just Help/need info but, a >precise name and dates and place if you have it. A descriptive subject is >much more likely to get a response as old timers sometimes wont read all >emails and go by subject lines only. > >As long as the conversations between members of the list are about >genealogy type things then by all means keep it on the list. But, if it is >a private message, jokes..ect. then send it to the members private email >address, not the list. List subjects should be kept on tract. > >When someone helps you, either privately or on the list let them know how >much that help meant to you. Some times you can even let everybody know how >helpful this person is by letting the list know. All of us need to be >appreciated publicly once in a while. > >If you are offended by what someone has to say then still be courteous >about your answer. Do not Flame anyone.. If you have a problem then bring >it to the list's admin privately, for that is one of the jobs an >administrator is supposed to do, be a moderator. The Administrator has the >finale word about anything, except rootsweb.com policy which none will >violate including the administrator. > >Even though we do not personally know each other, we are members of the >same family, even if there is no connection by surname. For we are members >of the family of genealogist, and it is by helping each other that we will >keep our free study of our many varied histories. > > >Also one other thing, before you send an email of someone elses to another >party (person) have their permission. Rootsweb.com wants all of us to obey >the copyright laws.. >Items of concern for me the list manager Which will get you removed from >the mailing list: >These two items will get you removed or moderated. > >1.

Flaming other people via an email and the list. > >Items that will get you a message from me: > >3. Please do not send VIRUS WARNINGS TO THE LIST.... SEND THEM TO ME...
