The InGenWeb-l sincerely extends their heartfelt sympathy to Tom and Carolyn Ward.... Tom's aunt who lived with them since 1992 passed away this morning a 7:20 a.m. She was 97 and would have been 98 had she made it to her birthday in June. Florence Z. (DUGGER) RAYBORN daughter of Benjamin Thomas DUGGER. Betty aka Kyseeker of In and Ky

Goodmorning! Here's your midweek reminder of the Guidelines vote: So far 47 coordinator's have placed their votes and that is great!... If you haven't voted please do at: http://venus.beseen.com/boardroom/c/29714/ Betty aka Kyseeker of In and Ky

This is your daily reminder that we are voting this week on the InGenWeb Guidelines... You may vote at: http://venus.beseen.com/boardroom/c/29714/ We are having a good response and forty votes have been received.... That leaves a good 30 yet to vote... Come on Guys and Gals let's get our vote in! Betty aka Kyseeker of In and Ky

Thank you for the voting response. If you haven't voted please place your vote by Sunday May 23rd at 6:00 P.M. Vote's may be placed by visiting http://venus.beseen.com/boardroom/c/29714/ Betty aka Kyseeker of In and Ky

Hello - I have the voting room ready on the guidelines at: http://venus.beseen.com/boardroom/c/29714/ Please follow the directions listed and place a vote of yes or no - your name when you sign in and your email address... Voting time will run til Sunday May 23rd at 6:00 P.M. If you didn't have time to vote the last time - may you can this time... Let's all get out to vote!.... I will be reminding you EACH DAY for the following week... Betty aka Kyseeker of In and Ky

After reporting the outcome of our voting on the Guidelines for the InGenWeb... we have found that another vote is needed. The voting booth program that was used did not accept some browsers and some votes were not counted. A new vote has been called for and will proceed. There will be no changes made to the Proposed Guidelines. We will only be revoting.... I'm sorry for this inconvenience but in all fairness to each and everyone of you I feel this needs to be done. If you do not vote - you vote will be considered ABSTAINED. I have sent email to all 30 non-voters and have found five of them did vote.. 25 Coordinator's have not replied. I will be asking for volunteers to count the votes etc... Thanks.. Betty aka Kyseeker of In and Ky

Loyd I want to thank you and others who have kept me abreast of this situation -- every year this has come up since Arpanet and BBSing first started and it still comes up. Although they consider it a "hoax" similar to the urban legends, it is always a possibility that it COULD BECOME REALITY. So I keep listening and writing to congresspersons, etc. Back in March I thought I had forwarded this following to everyone connected with Indiana USGenWeb Project and my friends (you included, Loyd, -- although Gary didn't get it I don't believe). Perhaps I thought I did or something happened to the transmission or receipt of same. Because of this I am forwarding to you again as it has a url you can go to from FCC info on this subject. Judy M.

Hi everyone, I know this is off topic, but I'm hoping a few of you out there who are more computer literate than me can help. I just bought a new computer and want to transfer my email folders from the old to the new. I use Netscape Messenger, but cannot figure out how to transfer the folders. I have about 500 messages in the combined folders, and really don't want to lose all of them. Thanks for any help. Adina
