To Hamrick and O'Neall Discussion Groups, I just received this message (below) from another listowner, who is saying that webtv is considering rootsweb as spam! If you are on webtv it looks like you will not be able to utilitze rootsweb email lists, the only thing you can do is complain to webtv, if enough complain maybe they will get wise. Next I am going to search our subscibers lists for any webtv subscribers, in the meantime I would contact webtv and tell them rootsweb is not spam but a highly educational genealogical discussion group. Good luck, Jill O'Neall Ching ---------- : From: Sandi Gorin <[email protected]> : To: [email protected] : Subject: WEBTV : Date: Friday, November 13, 1998 10:55 AM : : I just received notice that the ISP webtv has hired some professionals to : help them eliminate spam. Well, since rootsweb is high volume - rootsweb is : now considered spam. Below is a list of subbers to this list who are with : webtv. If you are still getting msgs and are on webtv, write me so I can : hold on to your name. If you aren't but have a friend below who is, would : you drop them a line to let them know what's happening. : : Webtv is not returning calls at the present time. Let me assure you that : rootsweb does NOT spam - they have a very sophistical anti-spam program and : anything that sneaks through is sent to me because I have closed the lists : - I get the spam but you don't. : : Thanks and I'm sorry - complain to them if you are a subber!
