Dear Baden-Wuerttemberg Mailing List Subscribers, I am posting this in the hope of being pro-active in response to possible messages about something that was apparently sent in error today to the BW List. :-) Occasionally, OFF-TOPIC or obviously personal messages are received and distributed via the Baden-Wuerttemberg Mailing List when one of our list members inadvertently attempts to communicate non-genealogical content with someone privately. A copy of his or her outgoing non-genealogy message ends up being inappropriately posted to the BW List as well (circulated automatically by the RootsWeb computer system which operates the list.) When this happens, it tends to generate numerous ON-LIST responses from subscribers understandably wondering why they are receiving such messages (or unfortunately rebuking the person who accidentally posted the off-topic message.) We respectfully request that you PLEASE *DO NOT* RESPOND TO SUCH MESSAGES OR POST COMMENTS ABOUT THEM ON THIS LIST. Doing so merely creates *more* OFF-TOPIC postings which serve no purpose. Whenever someone has a problem, a question, or realizes an error with regard to list postings, the wisest thing to do is to send a private, off-list email to Carla Heller (list co-administrator) DIRECTLY at: mscarlah@earthlink.net If you are concerned or want to comment about anything you are receiving via this list, please contact me off-list to discuss the matter. I am always happy to assist you in any way I can. Everyone's kind and immediate cooperation in this regard will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
