Hello List and All, Just wish to thank you for sending me all these new E-Addresses in this message.... I now have in just this week alone received {and deleted} over 2,000 new E-mail addresses from persons to "DUMB" cut the headers from their forwarded messages.. (AND YOU SAY YOU DO NOT LIKE "Spam") .. PLEASE when you send a message to anyone.. Yes anyone Do one or more of the following: 1.) Address the message: (a) (To: "just one person") (b) (CC: "leave blank") (c) (Bcc: "Add all other Addresses Here") 2.) If Forwarding a message to anyone: (A) FOLLOW RULE # 1 (B) DELETE ALL HEADERS FORM THE ORIGANAL MESSAGE ** To do this place the curser at the top of the header and hit your "delete key" repete this untill the header is gone. or start with the curser at the first line of the header, hold down your "shift key" and hit the "down arrow" to the bottom of the header, Now the hard part hit your "delete key" . You now have "stopped" anybody from "harvesting" your friends E-Addresses. This makes them very happy they do not get "Spammed" (C) Go to bottom of the message and remove the old "TAG Lines" (rootsweb will add new "tags") 3.) Subjects: (a) Do Not use words like "help", "Anybody" "brick wall" (b) Tell it like it is: "surname, date, place, event", (c) keep it short under ten words 4.) Sorry I have hit the end of this Do & Do Not list of my pet peves for the day.. Please remember this however.. I LOVE You All and may GOD Bless you & yours every day.. 5.) Keep those Queries Com'in.. ---------------------------------------- Thanks & have a nice day, Howard E.
