    1. Please put surnames in subject if posting on surnames

    3. Hi folks, please put your surnames in the subject line. Why? Because after about three 3 emails go out entitled "News", we delete them unread. We are getting a lot of emails. Most people don't read them unless they can tell from the subject that it is of interest.d By the same token, a subject that is the name of a digest is gonna get trashed unread by most (We all do this occassionally). Ditto for posts entitled "Family", "PLease Help", etc. Hey, we're all looking for family and need help <GRIN>. ONe of the first things the books and articles on how to succeed with internet genealogy tell you is to create a subject that'll let readers know if your post is of interest to them. THink of the subject line as bait. Later on when people are searching the archives for links, your informative subject line will assist them too.
