Just a short note to my Lists. On a couple of my larger Lists, some users are copying messages and passing on to their friends. Don't get me wrong, there's absolutely no problem with this. It's just that the recipients are missing a lot if they are not subscribed themselves. I just wanted to ask you to urge your friends to subscribe so they can get the messages first-hand. I feel that when people are users, they tend to participate and this leads to a lot more information being shared. That's what the Lists are all about, sharing. Also, if you reply to a post, unless it is purely personal, you can send the reply back to the List where we can all see it. I have picked up lots of important genealogy information by reading the exchange of data on the Lists. This is espec- ially true on the SURNAME Lists. You never know when some "lurker" will find the very name and data he or she has been looking for. Have a nice day, SgtGeorge Listowner
