What does it mean when you say "the List will be handed back to Rootsweb"? Does it mean it will cease to exist, or messages will not be monitored? Thank you for your work over the years. Regards, Veronica -----Original Message----- From: eng-surrey-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-surrey-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Ann Sargeant Sent: Saturday, 13 October, 2012 12:12 AM To: eng-surrey@rootsweb.com Subject: [SRY] ADMIN: Farewell to the List Everyone Various commitments make it increasingly difficult for me to find enough time to administer all my online forums. I am sad to relinquish these forums some of which, including this one, I've looked after for about 10 years having made lots of good friends and acquaintances over that long period. However I cannot now give enough time to the task and so it is much better that someone who can be available at all hours, and with time to spare, takes over. If you are interested in administering this List let me know within the next 48 hours. If no takers then the List will be handed back to Rootsweb. I wish everyone the very best with their research now and in the future. All being well I hope to still be around and also at some of the family history fairs and events so hopefully it will be really nice to say "Hello" from time to time. Thank you for your friendship and co-operation over the years.

Hi Veronica Lists rarely cease to exist, particularly County lists, if no one had stepped forward to admin the list it would be handed back to rootsweb, in other words it would have no admin until someone adopted it But as it is Charani has taken it over, together with the Middlesex list Lists are not normally monitored anyway, only when listers are being naughty <g> So things will continue as normal Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 14/10/2012 17:50, Veronica I Barr wrote: > What does it mean when you say "the List will be handed back to Rootsweb"? > Does it mean it will cease to exist, or messages will not be monitored? > > Thank you for your work over the years. > > Regards, > Veronica

Hi Nivard Thank you for answering my question. I didn't think the List would cease to exist - phew!

Rootsweb will take charge of the list until such time as an admin is found to take over. > Does it mean it will cease to exist, or messages will not be monitored? Rootsweb never removes lists. There are hundreds of lists, mainly surname ones, that have gone to join our ancestors but are still there if ever anyone wants to subscribe and post to them. Not all of them have an admin. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk
