Hi, I would like to request a new mailing list rootsweb-complainers -- or how about hissy-fit-i'm-not-getting-my-own-way Okay -- just kidding really. But really folks the fact of life is that the list migration is going to happen regardless -- even if you don't like something. The system is in place so lets give it a try -- if you have any questions someone will be around to answer your questions but really folks all this complaining will get you nowhere because it's going to happen they way it set up and no amount of griping will change that. Okay I feel better now. Joan Asche

Yea I felt the same way every time RW did something w/o telling us about it. It happened - we got used to it and some might not remember what it was before even. I like learning about mail man any how I was going to study it on my own, but now look at all the help I have <G> Dan M ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joan Asche" <jasche45133@gmail.com> To: <list-update@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, August 12, 2006 6:14 PM Subject: [LIST-UPDATE] Suggestion > Hi, > > I would like to request a new mailing list rootsweb-complainers -- or > how about hissy-fit-i'm-not-getting-my-own-way > > Okay -- just kidding really.

Thank you Joan, I got a really good laugh out of your comments...Your right, and some of the things being said here we betta testers talked about too. There are good reasons for ancestry.com doing this switch. 1. We can now be white listed by the ISP's .. Some of you are saying WHAT? Well, the old system does not provide an unsubscribe message on all emails from rootsweb.com. To be white listed / not have an ISP refuse to recieve rootsweb.com mailings every message must include how to unsubscribe. 2. The old system had been adjusted so many times that there was no way to update it.. That's one of the reasons they will not adjust or rewrite some of the software to get what we want, the problem would just be moved on to mailman.. which will get updates to the system when needed... 3. then there is the fact that old software does not work on new computers.. We might even be in for new servers that would not or could not use the old system.. Now this is just my opinion and not something I know... but in the last few years we have had all sorts of server problems at rootsweb, so maybe they needed this to upgrade to new servers??? who knows... I do not like change I get settled into a routine and like it that way... but this system is not hard to learn, and as Joan SAID THEY ARE MOVING THE LISTS... Lets try to make it a productive affair... Instead of looking at the negitive!
