Sorry to take up more Archives space with these non-genealogy messages but List business must be conducted. At this holiday time of year, a lot of members may be shutting down their List addresses temporarily. Please be sure to unsub from RootsWeb instead of just pulling the plug on your address with your IP. After 4-5 bounces, RootsWeb will generally unsub an address automatically but sometimes the bounces continue. If you have been using more than a single address with this List, please be sure to post or send -requests using the address that that you are currently subbed with. Now that the List is 'closed'' you will have to let me know if you want to be able to post to the list from, say, at home and from your office, and I will add a second address to the "accept" list. When I have received several notices of bounced messages from RootsWeb, I try to contact the list member at the same address but usually my message bounces also. I then send a note to any other address that they may have used before, to offer help. My best advice is, if you are not receiving messages or have problems sending to the -request address, please contact me right away. It may have no connection to our recent switch to "closed" but there have been various problems lately with bounced mail from B-L and with sub/unsub requests to the List. Fletch
