Hi everyone, This is just a quick message to let you know that effective yesterday, August 9th, I am the new list administrator. I'll let you all know my guidelines in the next day or two. I have also taken over the Menominee County GenWeb site. I have submitted to Rootsweb to move the site there, but am still waiting word from them. In the meantime, I am rebuilding the site and hope to have it ready in a couple days. In addition to the list and site, I'll also be taking over the Menominee County message board at Ancestry. I've noticed that there isn't a lot of traffic on this list. Would you all like me to keep the message board gateway open so you can still receive the messages coming from there? If a majority of you don't want the gateway left open, please let me know offlist and I'll request it to be closed. You should also know that I've made a few changes in the list controls. Beginning today... ... those of you receiving the digest will receive one every 12 hours or when the level of combined messages reaches 20,000 bytes. ... when you hit 'reply' now, your response will go BACK TO THE LIST, meaning everyone will see what you've written. If you want to make a private reply, be sure to check the 'To:' in your message form. You may have to type in the person's email address that you're directing your message to. The reason for this is two-fold: 1) hopefully this measure will generate more discussion here ~ it usually does. 2) a lot of good information gets passed privately that a majority of the people can benefit from. Being tucked away in the U.P., the Menominee site doesn't get as much traffic as a county in the middle of the U.S. does. However, that doesn't mean we have to be ghostly quiet! :) I'm an experienced list manager and Web mistress and have a couple ideas guaranteed to generate more traffic that will get your information and queries "out there." I plan to make us known to the Web! :) If you have any Menominee County information you'd like to share, please let me know at the email address below. You'll receive full credit for any material you submit, but please make sure that your data doesn't contain anything about living people. This is for the protection of your loved ones from identity theft. In the meantime, if you have any questions, you're welcome to contact me at <ladyaudris@earthlink.net>. Colleen Pustola

Colleen, I am sure we all appreciate the work that goes into being a list administrator. Thank you so much. I hope you decide to keep the message board open, I have found many distant cousins. Again thank you. ----- Original Message ----- From: Colleen Pustola To: MIMENOMI-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, August 09, 2002 5:18 PM Subject: [MIMENOMI] PLEASE READ: NEW LIST ADMINISTRATOR Hi everyone, This is just a quick message to let you know that effective yesterday, August 9th, I am the new list administrator.
