WELCOME to DanvilleCrossing-L This list is a private list (which means you cannot post a message to this list unless you are a subscriber to the list) for the education and discussion of the history & genealogy of the 5 upper Tennessee River counties of Benton, Henry, Stewart, Houston and Humphreys in Middle & Western Tenneesee. ====================================================================== My name is David Snow and I am the "owner" of this list. This means that I am responsible for assuring that the list operates as smoothly as possible. The following is a list of rules that will aid me in accomplishing this. If you have questions or experience problems that are not solved by the instructions contained in this WELCOME message, please email me at: [email protected] This message is long, but necessary for you to use this list properly. Read it all! Print it out!! Save it!!! I have no tolerance for inconsiderate individuals who "MAIL BOMB" the list because they haven't read the list instructions. If you do it, I will contact your ISP and attempt to have your account cancelled. ====================================================================== LIST COMMANDS 1. MAIL MODE: You are currently subscribed in "Mail Mode", which means that you receive a copy of every email posted to the list as a seperate email. You can change to "Digest Mode", which means you will receive a collection of emails combined into a single email on a daily or weekly basis depending on the list volume. Current email volume is very low, so "Digest" emails will probably be sent very infrequently, meaning the information you receive maybe quite old. In order to change from "Mail Mode" to "Digest Mode" or vice versa: a. For "Digest Mode": You must unsubscribe from "Mail Mode" first, and then subscribe to "Digest Mode" by: 1. Send an email message to: [email protected] that contains (in the body of the message) the command: unsubscribe and no additional text. Turn off your signature file if you use one. No "Subject" information is required in your address header. 2. Next, send an email message to: [email protected] that contains (in the body of the message) the command: subscribe and no additional text. Turn off your signature file if you use one. No "Subject" information is required in your address header. b. For "Mail Mode": Reverse the above proceedure. Unsubscribe from: [email protected] and subscribe to: [email protected] 2. UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THE LIST: Send an email message to: [email protected] (for Mail Mode) or, [email protected] (for Digest Mode) that contains (in the body of the message) the command: unsubscribe and no additional text. Turn off your signature file if you use one. No "Subject" information is required in your address header. 3. SENDING A MESSAGE TO THE LIST: To send a message to everyone on the list, compose your email & send it to: [email protected] You will receive a copy of your own message from the list. ===================================================================== LIST RULES & RESPONSIBILITES This list is not moderated. Any message sent to the list is automatically sent to everyone on the list. While I want to encourage the free exchange of discussion, as the the list owner, I reserve the right to intercede if a FLAME WAR erupts, if a "thread" of discussion becomes tedious for the majority of subscribers, or if someone becomes OBNOXIOUS, ie, use of profanity. Please try to make this list as enjoyable for everyone as possible by adhering to the following rules: 1. PARTICIPATE: This list is for research, discussion & education for everyone. It is not for your entertainment. As a subscriber, you have a responsiblity to freely share your information where you can. If you subscribed to this list to gather names & give nothing back, please UNSUBSCRIBE. You are not welcome here. 2. DO NOT FLAME: Do not send ARGUMENTATIVE or CRITICAL MESSAGES on the list. Respond privately if you must. IF YOU ARE FLAMED, DO NOT RESPOND VIA THE LIST!!!! We all have "delete" keys on our keyboards, use it!!! The best way to deal with a FLAMER is to not respond, or if you must, THANK THEM for their input. 3. NO ATTACHMENTS: Do not send ATTACHMENTS (attached files) on your list emails. Send them privately if they are requested. Large attached files can cause some subscribers' machines to lock-up, make them lose email and even "crash" their hard drives. 4. STAY ON TOPIC: This list is for historical & genealogical research in Benton, Henry, Stewart, Houston & Humphreys Counties. Please stay as close to these items as possible. The latest sale items at WalMart is not appropriate. 5. REMEMBER: Please remember these 3 addresses: 1. IF YOU NEED HELP, CONTACT ME: [email protected] 2. TO POST AN EMAIL: [email protected] 3.
