Hello P Taylor and Fellow-Listers: Thank you for your concerns re taglines. Thank you and your fellow-listers for keeping the List alive! Though in its experimental stage, I only hope to let Listers know how grateful and thankful I am for their sharing of their 'brick walls', querys, discoveries, etc., towards BOWDEN [and variants] mailing list. And that is where 'taglines' come into play. Up until now, taglines is used by admins really for whatever they choose - RW's guidelines, of course. And I would like to use the taglines, along with subscribers of the List to use, as a 'remembrance' - "...to remember those that have gone on afore us." Taglines will only be seen by subscribers of BOWDEN-L list [*not* BOWDEN-D subscribers]. Only when replying/responding to the List are you able to get/see a tagline. I wish to post extracts of Listers' messages from the previous month onto the new month. I'd like also to post interesting snippets re BOWDEN genealogy, research, history, laughs, etc., to encourage subscriber enrollment and/or to keep subscriber interests. I'd like to kiss those lurkers, who have been with this List tho' silently but bravely, and let them know I was one of them till me own Mum past away - "...to remember those who have gone on afore us." And if I still am not making myself clear - Be patient and I will reply privately, if need be. Good Hunting ALL.

Did I do something wrong when I posted? I've never seen a message like this from any of the other surname lists I subscribe to.
