To inform all the current list members. You may want to know that RootsWeb has now put into effect a new SUBSCRIBE to mail lists procedure, that will now take a new subscriber an additional step to become a member of our email lists. RootsWeb says it is to slow down and prevent SPAM which has been to easy for Spammers who do SUBSCRIBE , SEND, and UNSUBSCRIBE, to try and prevent their identity from being found. It is true that hundreds and thousands of SPAM are sent to our Genealogy Mail Lists, that hopefully none of you current members ever see in your email. In all the turmoil of trying to keep our emails with member assistance and new queries of family genealogy and history of our ancestors and their living conditions in their era of life on earth, I hope the new potential members will take the additional steps now implemented at RootsWeb to SUBSCRIBE to our mail lists. I guess it is a sign of our times in this 2008 world full of evil and terrorism. LISTDAD JOHN **************Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges?
