Mark- You have been subbing to lists right and left and spamming them all with an identical message that doesn't specifically pertain to any of the lists you have posted to. For your future reference, advertising posts are not permitted on RootsWeb lists and posts such as the one you made require permission from list admins prior to posting on a list. Some admins may allow a one-time announcement WITH PERMISSION and others may not. But mass broadcasting across many lists and subbing and posting just to advertise is not appreciated. I doubt you will stay subscribed to this (or other) lists now that you have broadcast your ad, but if you should choose to remain subscribed please familiarize yourself with RootsWeb list rules included in the list welcome message sent to all new subscribers. Thanks! Joan, co-admin [email protected] In a message dated 11/30/2011 9:53:11 P.M.
