I'm a member of WorldGenWeb and yes it does have a mailing list hosted by RootsWeb as do many of the GenWeb projects. I'm not sure which particular list you refer too. There has been little to no discussion on the WorldGenWeb list in the past couple of years, but I have not heard of RootsWeb denying any projects mailing lists. The WorldGenWeb list is only for those people who have something to do with WorldGenWeb just like this one is only for list admins For anyone wondering what GenWeb is: http://www.worldgenweb.org/ http://www.usgenweb.org/ Joan Asche On Wed, Apr 25, 2012 at 5:31 PM, Christina Hunt <chrisnina@gmail.com> wrote: > This comment was posted by a list admin in response to a posting for free > data > on a project website: > > >> This is a WorldGenWeb list.
