hello all. this is to inform you that of right now, i am no lomnger able to function as listowner for my lists. i w3as admitted to the hospital last night for sseizures and am under going brain surgery probably on wednesday. i know that some of u have taken over the lists for me in the past and if anyone can volunteer, please reply in the next 12 hours so i can give u the passwords {they have changed as the lists have recently been attacked by would-be hackers). Not alot goes into maintaining the lists, just basically helping people w/ subscription problems or helping them post to the correct address. Some lists may be without a moderator for the time being, so a note for all currently subscribed: to unsubscribe, send the email to SURNAME-L-request@rootsweb.com or SURNAME-D-request@rootsweb.com use thw list name in place of SURNAME. L is for the people on list format (each mail sent to the list is sent separately) and D is for those on the digest format (all messages for the day or a cluster of messages sent together in one message). Please use the appropriate address and if ur not sure which version ur on, try both. During my absence, please everyone try and help everyone else, especially the "newbies" to the lists. thank u so much for ur help and keep me in ur prayers. if u respond to volunteer, and i don't get back to u, it is either too late or someone else has taken the reins. for those who take the reins in my absence, please identify urself to the list so others know who to write to inccase they need help. if no one ids themself for ur list, assume there will be no moderator for a period of time. i should be back in full commission by october, so it won't be an extremely long absence. Best wishes and good luck in your research!!
