Just a note to inform everyone that the Anti-SPAM filters at Rootsweb have really been tightened up. There was just too much SPAM being posted and it was working List administrators to death trying to keep up with it. Some users have observed that their posts never showed up in Lists, and I, as administrator, never saw them either. The reason for that is that with the tightening of the rules, NO posts containing HTML (Styled Text, Fancy Text, Colors, Bolding, Underlining, Sizes, Tabs, Bullets, Forms, Tables, etc., etc.) will be posted (as usual). The posters won't receive any notification, and neither will the List Administrator. The posts containing HTML will just disappear into the ether. Only "PLAIN TEXT" emails will be posted, so make sure that you have your email program set to that setting. To be on the safe side, do not include ANY kind of tags at the end of your posts, no "Signatures", no long lists of surnames being researched, etc. If you feel you MUST have some sort of tagline, Rootsweb requires you have no more than 3 lines. IMHO, those long, long lists of surnames are a waste of time, usually. And, including your place of employment, duty title, address, phone number, etc., is absolutely unnecessary. Let's try to keep the Lists "lean and mean", and this means "snipping" out all unnecessary text from the body of an email when you are replying. Quote back just enough of the original message to make it clear to what you are replying. Thanks, Sarge List Administrator
