Hi folks, I will be away from the computer as of late tonight, for nearly a week. I am pasting the welcome message that comes to you when you subscribe to this list. Only difference will be the digest part, which I will paste towards the end of this message. Why I am doing this, is I will be away from my computer for a week, and will be unable to help you sub or unsub from this list until I return, but am pasting these instructions for you in case you have a need for them, they will explain how to do it for yourself if you need to leave and then come back before my return. Linda Smith will be watching over the list for me while I am away but she does not have the ability to sub or unsub you, so please keep a copy of this until I return. She does have the ability to control the list if it things get nasty on it, which I doubt, as long as I have been on this list, I have never seen anything of the like and doubt very seriously that it will happen while I am away. Zero tolerance for outright meanness is the only and main rule on this list. Be nice to one another and help them out as much as you can while I am away, ok? I am really depending on your help, each and everyone of you guys. It is all of you that make this list so great. Ok, here comes the blah, blah, blah stuff. Just keep in case you need it, dump it when I return. For Those In the L Mode of the list (remember both lists are the same lists, same messages come across, etc, only difference being how fast they come to your machine, L meaning that each message comes one by one as soon as they are posted, Digest meaning that several messages are bundled up and then sent to you.) Please read the following message in order to help you and me. I am Cathy Cranford-Ailstock and the person you would need to contact if you run into any problems. My email address is: pastseeker@nc.rr.com Website for the Montgomery County, NC List can be found at: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~cranford/cathy1.html If you have data that you would like added to the site, please contact Cathy at the email address above. Rules are few, no religion, politics, spam allowed. Flamming will result in removal from the list. You are currently subscribed in "mail mode", which means that you will receive every posting made to NCMONTGO as a separate e-mail. The directions on how to change to digest mode are given below. 1. How to unsubscribe. Send a message to NCMONTGO-L-request@rootsweb.com that contains (in the body of the message) the command unsubscribe and no additional text. 2. How to subscribe. Whatever you just did worked, or you'd not be getting this message. But for future reference (for instance, if your subscription is canceled for whatever reason and you want to resubscribe), just send the command "subscribe" to NCMONTGO-L-request@rootsweb.com. 3. How to change to digest mode (several postings are combined and sent to you together as a single large message). There are two steps. First, send the command "unsubscribe" to NCMONTGO-L-request@rootsweb.com to discontinue mail mode. Second, send the command "subscribe" to NCMONTGO-D-request@rootsweb.com to start receiving digests. 4. How to change to NOMAIL mode. There is no formal NOMAIL mode. All you have to do is follow the directions above and unsubscribe when you want the messages to stop, and then when you want them to start again, simply subscribe again. 5. If you'd like to post a message so everyone on the mailing list receives it, just send it to NCMONTGO-L@rootsweb.com. It will then be sent on to everyone in both mail and digest mode. You don't need to send it explicitly to both. Ok, here goes the rules for the Digest list mode: Please read the following message in order to help you and me.

Rules are few, no religion, politics, spam allowed. Flamming will result in removal from the list. You are currently subscribed in "digest mode", which means that several postings made to NCMONTGO will be consolidated together and sent to you as a single large message.

All you have to do is follow the directions above and unsubscribe when you want the messages to stop, and then when you want them to start again, simply subscribe again. 5. If you'd like to post a message so everyone on the mailing list receives it, just send it to NCMONTGO-L@rootsweb.com. It will then be sent on to everyone in both mail and digest mode.
