Every Rootsweb list has had massive unsubscribes for AOL users, including the County Kerry list. They have been automatically unsubscribed and there is no sense putting them back on only to have them unsubbed again. And it doesn't seem that they are getting the routine "you have been unsubscribed" messages for some unknown reason. This is all AOL's problem, not Rootsweb's, and until AOL fixes whatever it is, there is nothing Rootsweb nor I can do about it. We lost the single subbers first and today all the AOL digest users are gone because Rootsweb's computers will only take so many bounces [unable to deliver to this AOL user] before it unsubs the person. There is no hint that AOL can fix their problems, or at least not anytime soon. I do have the addresses of those AOL subscribers and I am going to write to all these people when I get the time and ask them to consider using another free service, like Google's Gmail service, so we can get them back on the list getting messages. Gmail also has a very good spam program, for others who might be interested. Yahoo and Comcast and Hotmail have also had [hacking] problems, so it would be wise not to use them, either. But it will take me some time to transcribe all of the unsubscribed email addresses. If you have been working with someone with an AOL address, you'd better for the immediate future contact them directly rather than through the list. I am sending this to the non-AOL members of the list also because I want this information in the Kerry archives if AOL individuals look there for messages they didn't receive. An so you can pass the informtion to others you know with AOL addresses or to other Rootsweb lists to which you subscribe. You have my permissiion to pass this message on to other Rootsweb lists to which you subscribe if nobody has reported this yet. I received it from the Administrator of the Tipperary and Waterfrod lists and modified it for us. Ray Marshall Minneapolis IRL-Kerry Rootsweb List Administrator
