Hi everyone, Does anybody know if there is a transcribed 1830 Census for Newberry online somewhere? I've searched every resource I can think of without success. Also, on the subject of virus alerts. More and more people are coming online everyday, and just need to learn the ropes with regard to e-mail and list etiquette. Below is a lits of rules I picked up someplace if there are any newbies out there still learning. Jane List Etiquette - Keep posts to the list brief. If you're post doesn't add value, don't send it. (Example: Don't send a "thanks" message through the list. Send something like that directly to the person you're thanking.) - Use common sense when responding to a post. Be aware that you always have two options: responding through the list or to a member personally. The content of your message should determine which of these you choose. - Do not forward virus warnings and jokes to a list unless it's devoted to that topic. - Be courteous to other list members and respect their opinions. If you disagree with them, fine, just do so politely and don't resort to personal insults. - Consult the list archives, if available, before posting a question. This is also a good way to become familiar with a list's acceptable topics, etc. - Do not subscribe to lists with an email address with an autoresponder function. This includes "Out of Office Autoreply" and other features. Doing this creates a large amount of wasted email, which can be a significant burden on a publisher with a large email list. - Spell check and reread your messages before posting. - Do not blatantly promote yourself or otherwise spam the list. Self-promotion should be kept to a brief signature file at the end of your posts. Sig files shouldn't exceed 5-6 lines. - Do not forward copyrighted material to the list unless you have permission to do so. If you do use information not your own, give proper credit. - Do not send HTML, rich text, or stylized email, or messages in "quoted-printable" format. Not all email programs of list members will recognize such formats. Send messages in ASCII.
