Oops I just demonstrated how to send a private message to the mailing list. Were you all paying attention? ********************************* Susan, Generally the list can't help with subscription issues. It's probably faster for you to contact the "admin" address of any Rootsweb list, in this case SOCAL-admin@rootsweb.com. I saw your message since I admin both lists. Another thing to check while not foolproof on slow list are the list archives at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ In this case there was only 1 message in May and 9 in April - the list has become rather quiet. Anyhoo yes SOCAL is active and yes you were subscribed. Interestingly when you subscribe you are automatically subscribed to the plain version (non-digest) which appears as a checked box. In your case neither the plain nor the digest box was checked. I don't know if that means you won't get messages or that you just didn't get any because the list is so quiet. I checked plain. You should be fine.
