Can you believe how fast the time has passed? This one almost >passed me by. > >The OKMAJOR Mailing List has 86 members, 75 on the Regular list and >there are 11 members on the Digest List. > >As most of you know by now, the GenConnect Boards have changed. >Rootsweb.com and Ancestry.com are continuing their merger and now have >merged the GenConnect Boards. I am not sure of my feeling regarding this >yet, but will watch it and let you know. I am not one to jump to >conclusions quickly. I also take care of many GenConnect Boards and did >loose all of them in which I did not take care of the Query board due >all the boards, bios, wills, pensions, etc. being combined within the >Query board. If you used one of these boards, now you know why I >suddenly disappeared. > >I know many of you have concerns regarding copyright laws and the >information you post to the boards and the mailing lists.

Consideration for exceptions, contact me at >KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net > >There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of >us. > >1. If someone posts a message to the list that should not have been >posted, please just delete it. Know that I am taking care of the >problem. If you post your unhappiness, then you just continue on the >problem. I know it is hard when your heart has been offended, but for >my sake, and the sake of the list, please just delete it. Rootsweb has >a wonderful Spam Detective and it stops most of it. You should see what >comes across my screen. I have to look at each of them to make sure >that what was stopped was truly Spam. Once in a while, one slips by >though and if this happens, just delete it and go on with what we all >love, genealogical research. > >2. If you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line it >might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who >has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who >is searching for the information you are posting. > >3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you >re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check >this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with >some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to >receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost >second cousin with all the answers you are looking for. > >4. The wonderful relationship that develops between list members is >also one of a Mailing Lists Problems. I encourage you to respond to >the entire list with genealogical responses, you never know who your >response will help. In the same thought I would like to ask you to not >respond to the entire list with personal responses. Such as, the first >message from a member says "Happy Birthday Mary" and then Mary says >"Thank you and then about 60 of our members also send "Happy Birthday >Mary". This is what I mean by personal messages. Just keep in mind >anything is ok to be posted as long as it has to do with the subject of >the list. If you have a doubt ask me. KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net > >5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any >attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are >taking a chance. > >I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your >willingness to help make this list the success it is. > >Kathleen Burnett >List Mom >KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net > > > > >==== OKMAJOR Mailing List ==== >Checkout the other lists being watched over by your List Mom; >http://mailing_lists.homestead.com/lists.html >To learn more about my world visit http://dwp.bigplanet.com/kburnett >Oklahoma Cemeteries Volunteer Website http://www.rootsweb.com/~okcemete/okcem.htm > >============================== >Search over 1 Billion names at Ancestry.com! >http://www.ancestry.com/rd/rwlist1.asp > >
