Just thought I would pass this along to all my subscribers. It was posted to the List for us Listowners and I think it is a good idea. If you enjoy your Lists and are able to help out a little, Brian and Karen (the Listmasters at RootsWeb) would be sure to appreciate it. ******************Start of Copied Message******************** Another way that we can all say Thank You to Brian and Karen is to send in our own sponsorship to RootsWeb. The money that RootsWeb gets from it's sponsors goes towards paying for the equipment, hardware and software that Brian & Karen use to keep things running for all of us. Let's all do our part to keep the RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative moving forward and getting better with each and every upgrade! Let the members of your mailing list know about the wonderful service that Karen & Brian provide for us as well.

This message is mainly for you new users who have sub- scribed in the past 6 weeks or so. When MAISER crashed and we all lost our Lists, Brian and Karen at RootsWeb graciously accepted transfer of the Lists to RootsWeb, and waived the usual costs for Listowners. They had to purchase an entire new computer system to handle the increased mail and since have had to add even more hardware and software. Most of us Listowners mailed in our subscriptions in spite of the fact that we didn't have to do so. Some of us even sent in two or more subscriptions. RootsWeb is the home of ROOTS-L, probably the "premier" genealogy Newsgroup and List on the Net/Web. RootsWeb is not a profit-making enterprise -- it exists because Brian and Karen believe in what they do, and because of their charitable nature. Both have full-time jobs and handle all the necessary chores of keeping RootsWeb working in their spare time. (I, for one, don't believe they really have any "spare time".) So, if YOU feel charitable, please go to the URL mentioned above and check out the various subscription plans. You will surely find one that fits your budget. If I have any millionaire subscribers on any of my Lists, you can send in fifty thousand or so and we'll all appreciate it. (Just kidding -- GRIN!)
