This has solved the problem every time. For some reason "default processing" holds the posts even though the list settings are for "Accept Immediately". I wish we didn't have to do this one by one, but it seems the only thing that works. On the upside, it means that at least some new subscribers will get their first post examined before it is passed to the list, which is probably a good thing. Hope this helps, Valorie -- http://about.me/valoriez

I realize this is the wrong list to discuss the BOARDS on, but with everything at RW in such turmoil now or changed, how do we turn a MESSAGE BOARD that we Administer back to be made available to others? Please advise, if anyone knows? Is [email protected] still the prescribed place? David E. Cann [email protected]

Proofpoint is a anti malware attack that uses a URL to send you to a malicious website. It was probably added by Valorie's email provider or whoever sent the message to her list. A lot of universities and corporations use the product. There is a Proofpoint disabler available for Chrome which disables Proofpoint.

For example, there are the Busby lists, the Buzbee list, and the Buzby list. Similarly, there are the Moreton list, the Morten list, and the Morton list. Now, if someone wants to do genealogical research, and, finds that no list exists for the particular spelling of the name, then the person may either give up on genealogical research, or, give up on the Rootsweb genealogy lists, as a resource for genealogical research. And, an example that I sometimes cite for people, is that one of my ancestors, has his name spelled at least seven different ways; a number of different ways for the personal name, and, a number of different ways, for the family name, depending on which particular record applies. Is the intent, to cause people to abandon genealogical research, by making it unecessarily difficult for us? And, in the case of the family name Busby, the Busby Crest, or, Coat of Arms, is sometimes said to have been awarded to a person of the family name Bushby. So, if one or more of the possible variants of the name (the name is said to have originated in Scotland, from a Norse phrase, and, may have been spelled differently again), has a Rootsweb name genealogy mailing list that has become idle for a while, or, does not show as having been used (do the records go all the way back to the original creations of the Rootsweb genealogy lists, or, have the old archives, gone missing?), and, either the lists are deleted, or, the lists are merged into one list, upon what criteria, would the decision be made, as to which list, is to become the remaining, merged, list, if the others are to be merged into it? In the case of the Morten lists, and, the different ways of spelling the same name, are the lists all to be merged into a somewhat different spelling, due to some unproven rumour? For example, one of my fellow genealogical researchers in my Morten line, had said that we are supposed to have been descended from the legitimate half brother of William the Bastard, also known as william the Conqueror, who was known for invading England in 1066, to take the crown from Harold; the legitimate half-brother being Sir Henry de Mortayne (or, however his de ... name was spelled, be it Mortaigne, Morteyne, or whatever). Would that mean that, if the lists of all of the family names that sound like Morten, that are not sufficiently actiive, would be merged into a Mortayne, Morteign, or, other similar sounding list, never to be seen again, cutting of apparent access to Rootsweb name lists, for people of the family names Moreton, Morten, Morton, etc? It can be already, quite difficult, to get people interested in genealogy, and, to make it further difficult, by eliminating possible resources, is, I contend, something that should be considered with extreme caution. If a mailing list is inactive, what is the cost of keeping it? Surely, an active list, with a small group of people, posting a higher volume of throughput, has much greater cost, than a list with little, or, no recent, traffic? Now, regarding the family name Busby; at https://www.ancestry.com.au/name-origin?surname=busby is " Busby Name Meaning English: habitational name from a place in North Yorkshire, recorded in Domesday Book as Buschebi, from Old Norse buskr ‘bush’, ‘shrub’ or an Old Norse personal name Buski + býr ‘homestead’, ‘village’, or from some other place so called. Source: Dictionary of American Family Names ©2013, Oxford University Press " So, original spellings from that, may be Buschebi or Buskibyr, neither of which, resemble the current spelling of the name Busby. Now, If I was new to genealogical research, and I was looking for a mailing list for the family name Busby, it would not occur to me, to look for either of those two names, and, I would be unlikely to see any possible connection between them, and my family name Busby. But, one or other (or both) of those names, appears to be the origin of my family name (and, possibly, of similar sounding family names. Also, at http://www.name-doctor.com/name-busby-meaning-of-busby-39020.html is " BUSBY ORIGIN: SCOTTISH (GAELIC)  /  OLD NORSE  NAME ROOT: BUSKI BýR > BUSKIBýR > BUSCHEBI MEANING: Initially recorded as "Buschebi" in the Domesday Book of 1086, This name derives from the from Old Norse “buskibýr” composed of two elements: “buski” (Wood woodland) plus “býr” (farmhouse, farmstead). Finally, the name means “from the farmhouse of the woods”. Busby is also the English name for the Hungarian “prémes csákó” or “kucsma”, a military head-dress made of fur, originally worn by Hungarian hussars. " and, at https://www.scotsman.com/news/viking-influence-on-scotland-s-vocabulary-and-place-names-1-4437454 is " Other notable place names around Scotland include: • Busby – Buskr (a bush, a shrub) by (a farmstead, village) " which has an 'r' instead of the 'i' in "Buski" So, for example, if all of the Busby name mailing lists, and, every name mailing list, that has a name, similar to Busby, would either be deleted, or, merged, for being insufficiently active, what should I be required to seek, in trying to find an obscure name mailing list, to try to use as a resource, to seek information in reasearching my Busby ancestry? Buschebi? Buskibyr? Buskrbyr? If a person is new to genealogical research, or, otherwise new to using genealogy mailing lists as a resource, in genealogical resource, how would the person know, to use such obscure versions of the person;s family name? And, as such names are the "original" Norse versions of the name, would communications on such mailing lists, be in English, or, in Norse? Another aspect arises, and that goes to the different ways that a particular sounding name may be pronounced, which gave rise to the implementation, many years ago, of the Soundex mailing lists hosted by Rootsweb. A particular example, of which I know, and, the only one of which I know, at present,because it is a list for which I am the List Administrator, is the b530 list, which apparently is the numerical Soundex representation of the name Bennet, and all similar sounding names. Now, I am aware of the existence of the lists with the names B530, Bennet, and, Bennett. The list with the name Bennett, has a List Administrator, who is not me. So, who would be the List Administrator of the forced merger? And, what would happen, if the List Administrator of some of the Lists, disagrees about list policy, with the List Administrator of the other lists, of the forced merger? Who has precedence? Now, if a person who has, in their family history (and, I should have included that prospect; having the name in a person's family history, in reference to my references to Busby genealogical researc, rather than just referring to a person whose family name is Busby or a similar sounding name), the name Bennet, or a similar sounding name, the existence of a numerical Soundex algorithmic list name, may not occur to the person. I remember, when I dicovered the existence of such lists, that the possibility of the existence of such lists, had not previously occurred to me. So, should a person who is new to genealogical research, or, otherwise, to the use of Rootsweb genealogical mailing lists, be required to determine the numerical Soundex algorithmic derivation of each family name that the person is researching? As a person who has studie and performed computer programming, and, who, at university, had applied programming involving the Soundex algorith, I had not used, or, been aware of, numerical representaions of Soundex values; I had understood that the Soundex algorithm mahically determined phonetic equivalents. As a person who has performed computer programming, and, had been aware of the Soundex algoritm, with me thence not having been aware of numerical values of Soundex phonetics, how would it be reasonable to expect and require a lay person to be aware of such concepts? And, if similar sounding name lists are to be merged, who determines whether the degree of similarity, in the sounds of the names, is sufficient? If Busby, Buschebi, Buskibyr, Busbice, Bushby, ete, etc, etc, would be required to be merged, would Bennet be required to be merged with Barnett, would Ebbott and Ebbot be required to be merged with Abbot/Abbott, Mitchell with Michel, and, would singulars be required tio merge with plurals, eg, Mill with Mills, Bate with Bates ( I have the name Bate in my family history, and, we do not have any association with any motels). Also, with my family name Busby, another lay person who might be starting out in genealogical research, may not be aware either that the name has a Norse root, or, what previous incarnations, or, versions, of the name may have been, in various different languages. So, would it be reasonable, to expect such a person, whose only language might be English (and, I am certainly not fluent or otherwise proficient, in any language other than English), to know all other possible variants of tyhe family name, in all other languages, including, a purported root of the family name (such as Buskibyr, for the family name Busby), in order for the person to find a mailing list, to which to subscribe, and, to which to post a query, in the hope that the communications on the list, are in English (or, in whatever is the peson's primary language, if not English), with the person possibly already being apprehensive and nervous, about introducing themselves to strangers, and, p[osting queries to an unkown mailing list? And, yet another aspect to this, is the premise "If you build it, they will come". Now, some of the lists to which I am subscibed, haven't had a post for six months, and, some haven't had a post for fifteen years. But, that does not mean that they have no value. Imagine if the Dead Sea Scrolls had simple been burnt, because no-one had added to them, or, read them, for as long as they had been concealed. And, if whoever discovered the Dead Sea Scrolls, had simply said "These are old, and they have clearly not been read for many years, so I will just burn them". If a resource exists, then, it exists to be used, when it is wanted to be used, provided its use is not harmful (I add that qualification because this country has a government that is obsessed with burning as much coal as possible). But, if the resource is destroyed, for not being sufficiently used, then, it is gone, and, especially for novices, people may simply regard it as an unfillable void. Nobody landed on the moon, for many years, before the 1960's. But, it did not get eliminated, simply because no person had yet landed on it, or had driven out to have a look at it. It was left there, so that, when the time was right, someone could land on it, and dance around on it, and, look silly, in strange costumes. But, it was not destroyed due to not being used. The Dead Sea Scrolls were not combusted, due to not being used, for the centuries that they lay unused and unread. They were allowed to keep existing, so that, when the time was right, some people could discover them, and, do what they would with them. A dormant mailing list takes up little room, and, causes no traffic, and, incurs little, if any, cost (does it actually cost anything, to retain a dormant mailing list?), and, then, when it is discovered, and, thence, in knowing that it exists, is used, facilitates use, and, in the case of genealogical mailing lists, facilitates genealogical research, by virtue of its use, which is solely due to its existence. And, with genealogical resources, sometimes, it is "putting out the line, with the bait on the hook, and, waiting for a bite". I have received, over time, queries resulting from stuff that I had put out on the World Wide Web, over ten years before, that someone who has become interested in associated genealogical research, has found, and, it has led on from there. With genealogical DNA testing and matching, I have undergone particular genealogical DNA testing, and I have not yet, after however many decades it has been, encountered a match that I seek. But, while my test results are available for a possible match, it is possible that a match may occur, which could lead to all kinds of genealogical revelations. But, it is not a good idea, with genealogical DNA testing, to say "Well, I have waited ten years - I have not yet been notified of a match that I seek, so, I will give up and withdraw my test results and my test sample". The next day, a pleasant surprise could occur. Similarly, with genealogical mailing lists. Especially, if all of the archives are restored (preferably without the spam), the information, being out there, could draw interest and facilitate further genealogical communications, and, revive dormant mailing lists. But, once mailing lists no longer exist, for a novice seeking assistance, or, who may be able to share information that may benefit subscribers to a dormant list; once the list is gone, the resource is gone, and, the novice is left to wander in the dark, without assistance. So, I emphatically contend that the prospect of either deleting or merging, dormant lists, should be treated with extreme caution, and, is best avoided. I believe that the cost of retaining dormant mailing lists, is trivial, especially, compared to the cost of deleting them, and, compared to the possible cost of forcibly merging them. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............

Well in the yehaw column - I finally just contacted the 800 number for Ancestry and after 45 minutes mostly of holding between information exchanges - I'll have passwords reset for at least 6 different accounts associated with a defunct email address, where I suppose I can go in and change info to reflect the current email address and discover hmm, what boards I have... At least this was not near as painful as income tax preparation.

Firefox updates itself automatically *IF* you have it set that way. There are three choices: 1. Automatically install updates (recommended) 2. Check for updates but let the user choose when to install them (my personal choice) 3. Never check for updates.
