Hi All- just a note on policy for our Penna-Dutch list. This list is not, and never was, exclusively genealogy. While this list includes genealogy it also covers anything to do with Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry and culture, etc. If you want a list that is exclusively genealogy then you should subscribe to our sister list: [email protected] If you exclusively want to discuss the culture, language and dialect, recipes, etc. then you should join our other sister list: [email protected] You can subscribe to any of these lists from the PADUTCH website at: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~padutch/ While we would like to see our lists stay relatively on-topic, we also understand that peole make mistakes from time to time. Above all, we don't allow flaming on this list. Any action to contact a list member for any perceived wrong-doing is to only come from Don Hartman or me, and even then only in private. If any list member feels that such action is necessary they should contact Don or me. Don's address is: [email protected], and mine is: [email protected] That said--while we were slightly off-topic and on the subject of dogs, <G> let me take that one little, teensy step further and remind you that RootsWeb is now branching out into areas outside the realm of genealogy. Last week's RootsWeb Review unveiled the first 10 new lists in the new "communities" that will cover areas of interest to many of us - but not involving genealogy. One of the first 10 new lists to be created is the Dogs-L list--to be exact: [email protected] Since I just happen to be the list administrator for the new Dogs-L list I thought I could possibly sneak a little plug in here and say that those who would like to discuss the subject of dogs (and many other subjects also) now have a RootsWeb list on which to do so. Thanks for indulging me in this plug for my new list. :-) If anyone is interested in the new list, they can contact me for further details. Thanks! Joan
