I agree that Roll calls are largely a waste of time. Personally, after the first day's blitz of emails I take to deleting unopened all that do not have a specific Surname I'm researching in the subject line. Now if someone lists 18 surnames and only four can appear on the subject line clearly I will miss 14 of those they would like me to know about! IF on opening an inquiry it is clear to me it is someone who has done little to no research but is looking for a quick fix from someone else's hard work, I don't respond. I believe Roll Calls should not happen more than once per year if at all and last for no more than a predetermined & published time not to exceed a week! Back to deleting! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, Feb 22, 2010 7:23 am Subject: Re: [NYQUEENS] Roll Call Tromba, Michalsen, Michaelsen, Kristiansen, Requena, Looking for Smith and Jones. What is the purpose of these roll calls ??. It makes absolutely no sense without specifics. If people have brick walls and need assistance that's fine but to post just names without dates, locations, and what they are looking for to me is meaningless. Delete, delete, and delete. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message =
