Dear HWE subscribers -- Sorry to interrupt the flow of things but I feel I should comment on a few things as list concierge. Firstly, I request that the thread about publications, where they can be obtained, who wants them or is interested, costs, postage, etc. be ended as of now. Tony's updates on new publications are much appreciated but any/all subsequent follow-ups/questions re: those updates should be directed to Tony privately, *off the list*, as I believe he has requested. Now, some of those replies were inadvertant, ie. meant to be sent to someone privately, not to the list. Which leads me to a further point about replying to list messages. Let's say you read a post on HWE and want to reply. So, naturally, you hit the Reply key. Now lift your eyes from your keyboard and notice what address is in the "To" field of your e-mail program. Yes, it will be the list address. This is the default. If you do not change it, your reply will go to the list. All well and good but what if you want to reply to the post privately, off the list? You'll have to change the list address to the private e-mail address of the person you're replying to. I would also add that this list is for the sharing of Huguenot/Walloon genealogy. It is not about the buying and selling of publications or CDs. I say this as the representative of Rootsweb in my capacity as admin of this list. And Rootsweb is pretty clear about this in its policy. Lastly, if you have any problems or questions around being a subscriber to this list -- eg, unsubscribing or changing your e-mail address -- those messages should *not* be sent to the list address. Please send them to me privately either at andreav@island.net or the admin address which is Huguenots-Walloons-Europe-admin@rootsweb.com. Instructions on subscribing, unsubscribing and changing your e-mail address are also on the HWE website here: http://www.island.net/~andreav/sub.htm and here http://www.island.net/~andreav/unsub.htm That's it. Now let's get back to to genealogical, historical or research discussions. Andrea (as list concierge)
