Hello, everyone -- It's your list concierge here, who hasn't come around with her list broom and mop for a tidy-up in quite some time. Just a few items which I've noticed....... 1) SURNAMES should be written in CAPITALS please. 2) When replying to a previous post, change the subject line of your own post, if necessary, so that it matches the content of your message. 3) Be specific with subject lines -- ie. include a topic, and/or surname(s), and/or location(s), and/or dates. General subject lines such as My Family or Surnames or New Subscriber are usually not helpful and will not grab the attention of those you want to notice your post. Some subscribers may even delete such messages without reading them. 4) When replying to a previous post, do not include in your message the entire previous post (wastes a lot of space in the archives!). Instead, <snip> just a part of it. Or give a brief summary, mentioning who/what/when you are replying to so others will know what you are talking about. 5) It's not necessary to send me a personal copy of a list post. I get one anyway, because I am a subscriber like everyone else. All done now. Merci beaucoup. Et au revoir. Andrea
