The following is an original of the Rules of this LIST contained in the 'Welcome Message' that you received when you 'subscribed' to this List.... Long before Byron & Karen 'sold-out' to Ancestry.com.......this List has existed since '97.... Please pay attention to Rule #1: PARTICIPATION..... The 'Original' is below......... "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: dlsnow1@qwest.net 2. TO POST AN EMAIL: DanvilleCrossing-L@rootsweb.com 3. TO UNSUBSCRIBE: DanvilleCrossing-L-request@rootsweb.com (Mail Mode) DanvilleCrossing-D-request@rootsweb.com (Digest Mode)
