Welcome to our newest subscriber Pat Murray! When you have time, please post a short introduction of yourself and the Pyle(s) line you are researching. Your messages should be sent to PYLE-L@rootsweb.com All genealogical postings should be addressed to the list. This also includes responses to queries. For example, if you are responding to a query that I make, then you should address it to my e-mail with Cc to the list address or vice-versa. It is easiest to just click on "reply to all". If you have a message for someone of a personal nature, then you would certainly want to send that privately. If you are posting a very long document or gedcom, then it should be done in 2 or 3 postings rather than the whole thing at once. For instance, you might be sending xxx pt. 1, xxx pt. 2, xxx pt 3, etc. The reason for this is very simply that some providers cannot handle large pieces of mail at one time. I also ask that we not send attachments to the list because there has been a problem with that on some servers. If you have a document that is too large to do a cut and paste, then post a description of it to the list to see who might want it sent directly. Or, I possibly could arrange to have it stored on a server for retrieval, just let me know. If you have any questions about the list or you are not sure of what to do, please e-mail me at pyle@airmail.net Thanks. Sara Broughton Pyle pyle@airmail.net
