*****WELCOME to the OLD-FREDERICK-CO-VA Discussion List****** My name is Yvonne James-Henderson, I'm the new "owner" of this list. That means I'm responsible for keeping it running as smoothly as possible and setting some rules for its operation. If you are reading this now...you are subscribed! You are currently subscribed in "mail mode", which means that you will receive every posting made to OLD-FREDERICK-CO-VA as a separate e-mail. The directions on how to change to digest mode are given below. This is a discussion area for anyone who has an interest in genealogy related to the OLD-FREDERICK-CO-VA. We all owe a big "Thank You" to RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative http://www.rootsweb.com/ for adopting our Discussion List and to Larry Stephens, for everything he has done for on-line genealogy. ******************YOUR RESPONSIBLITIES ****************** That's right, you have some responsibilities, too. A mail list isn't like a movie, where you just buy a ticket, get entertained (sometimes) then walk away. This is a cooperative effort. 1. Keep this message. PRINT AND SAVE IT! Trust me, I learned the hard way! I recommend printing it and putting the paper where you can find it. Files on a hard disk get lost (as if paper doesn't, but...) 2. Read this message. Yes, it's a little long, but you don't have to memorize it (that's why you're saving it). It's hard to make it short and tell you what you need to know. 3. Don't be afraid of all this. Using a computer is a little harder than just knowing where the power switch is, but anyone can do this with a little effort and by following instructions. 4. Follow instructions - to the letter. If you leave something out of a command or put something extra in, it probably won't work. 5. If you decide to leave the list, make sure your name is removed (more on this below). The server that sends you this list handles thousands of messages a day. If your address becomes "bad" (for instance, you quit AOL but we think you're still there) then we start getting bounced messages. We get thousands a day now. Please don't make it worse. 6. Remember these addresses: a. IF YOU NEED HELP, CONTACT ME. My address is: daisy@usroots.com 7. How to unsubscribe. Send a message to OLD-FREDERICK-CO-VA-L-request@rootsweb.com that contains (in the body of the message) the command unsubscribe and no additional text. 8. 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 cancelled for whatever reason and you want to resubscribe), just send the command "subscribe" to OLD-FREDERICK-CO-VA-L-request@rootsweb.com. 9. 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 OLD-FREDERICK-CO-VA-L-request@rootsweb.com to discontinue mail mode. Second, send the command "subscribe" to: OLD-FREDERICK-CO-VA-D-request@rootsweb.com to start receiving digests. 10. 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. 11. POSTING: If you'd like to post a message so everyone on the mailing list receives it, just send it to: OLD-FREDERICK-CO-VA-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. For your verification, a transcript of the original subscription request is included below. ************************************************** Visit the FREDERICK County VaGenWeb Site at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~vafreder/frederic.htm Yvonne ****** Yvonne James-Henderson, Burke, VA My Home page: Daisy's Roots: http://www.rootsweb.com/~daisy/1daisy.htm alternate addresses: daisy@usroots.com or hen1@idt.net Listowner for these Family Discussion Lists: BALLEAU BRISBIN COOKSEY HITT HORN KENTON LAWSON LUCKY MORROW SWEET ZIMMERMAN Listowner for: The PRINCE WILLIAM, OLD FREDERICK and ROCKBRIDGE County,VA Discussion Lists
