Dear DOWSETT Subscribers, Here are some resolutions to think about in the coming year: I will use uppercase for family names. I will use leading capitals for given names and place names. I will not shout (use words, except for family names and initials, that are all in capitals.) I will use meaningful subjects. I will only quote part of the messages that I reply to. I will only send messages to the list < DOWSETT-L@rootsweb.com > and commands to the List Servers < DOWSETT-L-Request@rootsweb.com > and < DOWSETT-D-Request@rootsweb.com >. I will not send non ASCII characters (pound symbols and accented characters.) I will not send messages larger than 8000 bytes. I will not send attachments or HTML (we prefer Plain Text.) I will not send Spam. I will try to keep messages on-topic (Genealogy and Family History related to the family name DOWSETT and its variations, anywhere in the world.) I will not send virus warnings to the list without first consulting the Listowner. I will not send complaints or criticism about other subscribers to the list (only the Listowner.) I will not let my mailbox fill-up to the point were my ISP bounces incoming messages. I will be kind and patient with Newbies (new subscribers to the list.) I will use the archives, at < http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=DOWSETT > and < http://archiver.rootsweb.com/DOWSETT-L/ >, to look-up items that have already been posted to the list. I will respect the copyright of other's work and acknowledge my sources. I will change the Subject of a reply to reflect the contents of the message when needed. I will send thank yous to replies to my queries either generically on list, or personally off-list. I will remove the prepend from the subject when replying to the list, so that it does not appear in the Digest. All the best for a happy and prosperous 2006 and may all your searches be successful. Wassail Elmo. -- --Keith Elmo ELDRIDGE DOWSETT-Admin@rootsweb.com --Elmo@aphelia.co.uk --Buxworth, High Peak, Derbyshire, England. --Listowner DOWSETT-L
