If you know someone who is on AOL and subscribed to any of Rootsweb's mailing list, you may want to pass this information on to them. When AOL comes back on line, I'll resend this out so the AOLers will know what has happened. Yesterday (December 18), AOL began blocking some of the Rootsweb lists (on server 5, some of the Irish lists) and Rootsweb felt the situation would be resolved within the normal 24 hours but today they are lost blocking lists on server 2. What will happen is after three bounces, you will be removed from the list. Please do not resub until the situation is resolved. You can check the list's mail by going access the list's archives. To keep aware of the situation, please check the Rootsweb Help Desk at: http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/ While I am at it, Rootsweb has begun to unsub all those with ATTBI email addresses because ATTBI mail is going to be discontinued soon. So, if you find you have been unsubbed, you can either resub with your new Comcast address or write me off list and I will resub you. However, I need both the new address and which list you are subscribed to (Teutopolis, Effingham County). AOLers, I suggest you write to the powers to be at AOL and complain..and LOUD! The message I sent out last night alerted me to the problem. Each and every member of this mailing list who had an AOL address had their message bounce back to me within seconds. If anyone has been unsubscribed because of this mess, I'll know about it and will be able to resubscribe them once I get the all-clear. I really wish AOL would get their act together. This happens every few months, it seems. <sigh> Linda Mailing List Administrator..
