RootsWeb's list2 server has been out of commission for several days, for urgent maintenance work, and this has caused significant disruption for many Mailing Lists, including ButeshireGenWeb. Some Lists, have only been marginally affected in that there has been some duplication of messages. The latest news from RootsWeb is that the server is now back up and running. If all goes to plan then the release of backlogged messages will take place over a period of time - perhaps a few days - so affected list subscribers should not be hit by a large volume in one go. Messages might not be released or received in chronological order. Please also note that some lists may not come back on line immediately. No details have been made available as which lists these are, so I'm sending this in the hope that Bute is NOT one of them.
