Not sure you have stated exactly how Rootsweb has abused you? Plus, I have been on Rootsweb since they started back in the late 1990s before being owned by Ancestry and while being a list admin for a number of lists since the beginning, I have never experienced 'abuse' from either organization. The list admin of the other list just may be busy, something in his/her life maybe happening and he/she is not up with the lists. I was in the hospital 5 years ago and could not deal with all the lists I admin for a couple of weeks. Things happen. Have patience. My suggestion. Go to the help desk at the Rootsweb main page: www.rootsweb,custhelp.com Right now the link is not working because the website is down for repairs/moving. But, when it is up, write them and let them know your problems. In the meanwhile, have patience. You are not begin ignored, the site is down for repairs. Sometimes it may take a few weeks. > Here is my chance on complaining on the Support Team and Rootsweb.com. > > I am Subscribed to a certain Surname M. List and can not leave a message > like this.
