Hi Debby and ALL Hamrick's~ Kindly understand there is NO CHARGE for our Email List! Rootsweb is our host server and sometimes they appreciate donations, but there is NO obligation to donate to their server costs. Many listowners pay an annual fee of $20+ to use the Rootsweb for their lists, but this is not anything that listmembers need to worry about. I made a very clear suggestion that if anyone who would LIKE to donate to Rootsweb they could and it would be appreciated, but I never said anyone has to pay for anything here. They had just added a hugely expensive system, to their already expensive server and were looking for help paying for it. Please read these messages carefully and fully and ask me if you do not understand something, I will be more than glad to clarify the issues of list maintainance. I started this list in Spring of 1995 and we have never had any fees and will never, as long as I am listowner. It is a CHOICE to donate to Rootsweb, which maintains hundreds of email lists like ours. I said if you wish to donate, you could name the 'Hamrick List' and then Rootsweb would know which list the donations were coming from..... Please refer to http://www.rootsweb.com for more info about their huge service to the genealogical community, which is paid for by those who choose to donate.
