Hi List, Five wonderful volunteers have stepped forward so far to help check the validity of email addresses with the queries on the web site. Only 10 more are needed... Diane Here is the original plea <snip>...volunteers willing to email a batch of queries (about 30-40??) posted on the St. Clair Query Pages in order to weed out email addresses that bounce, and to delete queries that are no longer responded to. I'll coordinate the batches distributed so we do not have overlap. Each person who posted a query will be emailed separately so the emails are not accidently screened out as junk mail, and so that at least one surname in their query appears in the Subject Line. If we get a bounce, the email address will be tried again in a week (just in case the server or whatever was down the first time around) - so this is double duty for bounces. If the email address is valid (does not bounce), but no one replies back within 1.5 weeks that they want to keep the query up there, then we will delete the query. You will have to keep track of 3 things: bounces, valid but no reply, and those that reply. The list you send me [via email] will have to be able to identify the exact query to delete so I can update the pages (and so that I don't delete valid, active queries). This is easily accomplished by copy and pasting the query (including the month/year) into your email to me, and adding the word DELETE. We would like this accomplished in May. I will write a generic question regarding the posted query for you to cut and paste into an email message to each query. Hope I didn't scare everyone away! Thanks, Diane StClairCoord@compu-type.net
