Thanks Dan for clearing some things up and bringing up other issues. Please don't admonish me for my questions as I signed up as soon as I got the 1st email and am trying to follow what is going on. I have three email addresses now - personal, business and genealogy. Which means I will have to have a 4 which my ISP will not allow because my hubbie has 2 addresses - personal and business - 5 is our limit. So you say join one of the "free" email lists which will emendate me with more spam. I get enough now, thanks allot. My life is really going to be fun. Please keep in mind we are only volunteers for this. Seems like I might as well chunk my personal research to become a total administrator. No tag lines and I do read them because some have good information. I use taglines on my county lists to encourage others to donate to the list or to archives. So now that's gone, which means no more donatations of county or family info. And this is an improvement how? Kemis Massey List Administrator for the MASSEY surname Webmaster and list administrator for Chattahoochee and Muscogee Counties, GAGenWeb Project Webmaster and co-list administrator for Clayton County, GAGenWeb Project and AHGP List Administrator for Harris County GAGenWeb Project and I'm not going to start on the message boards that I administrator - no telling what this is going to do to them. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan M Ok I got it down now! All the names have changed = but not really we dont need the L or D = but we can if we want to the search dont work = but it really does. our tag lines are gone - but we can put them in the Welcome message = no one reads, = of course they dont read the tags any way so nothing changes there. We need 2 email addresses to watch the lists We can only subscribe in the ( subject ) line = so what happens to all those rootsweb subscribers who use the Message area only = thousands of people who migrate on and off lists. Will mail man unsub some one like the other system if we unsub with Joans addy in a message will she get removed <G> too < small smile here>;-) kidding Joan.
