I also survived using my sisters 5 yr old obsolete puter to keep track : of y'all and I bet you didn't even notice. I bought her a new one for : christmas. : : Since I changed the list "reply to" funtion to reply to the list, we have : dropped in subscribers from 640 to 600. Some folks haven't had the patience : to bear with the increased traffic, but I am impressed that most of you have, : so congratulations to you. Maybe some of the others will come back now that : the holidays are over. : : Three current issues: : : 1. tsk tsk, don't get testy with each other on my list. enough said. : : 2. With replies going to the list, try to look at all your replies with this : test in mind: "Does it have the name, place and date of an Anderson in it?" : If it doesn't, then please send your reply directly to your correspondent : instead of the list. This is the simplest test I can think of and it is : really the only criteria I put on messages to the list. : : 3. When quoting a message for reply, it is useful to select text from the : original message that identifies the topic you are replying about. However, : try not to quote an entire message including the comm traffic at the bottom : as it just adds clutter. And never never, quote an entire digest message : when responding to it, becasue this makes the next digest twice as large : with duplication of prior content and very annoying. It also messes up the : rootsweb criteria for issuing the digests causing more confusion. : : Best wishes for the new year. : : Patrick J.
