Hi folks, Never fails -- there's no happy medium. If the list is quiet and/or serious, people complain that it is dull. If it gets lively before holidays, people want to leave, after insulting 700 possible relatives <grin>! Good thing we're all too old to remember who insulted us yesterday. Here's how to leave. Y ou may want to do this if you are away over the holidays. Otherwise if your mailbox fills up and starts sending 'mailbox full' error messages back to rootsweb, the Rootsweb software unsubs you. So you have to resub when you come back. You can always view all posts to the list at www.rootsweb.com. Scroll down to mailing lists and select 'threaded view' and type in Scotch-Irish. Voila... To unsub, if this email is in a bigger one with a table of contents at the top, scroll to right below the table of contents. There's the directions. You are getting 'digest mode'. For the rest of you for whom the 'incoming' arrives like a blizzard, send an email to Scotch-Irish-l-request@rootsweb.com with NO text in the subject and just the word subscribe in the body. Then the rootsweb software will try to unsub you. It sends back a message. Read it. If it couldn't it tell you what to do next. You gottat do it or no one will know you are stuck on the list! THis is the best way to unsub. If you rely on rude email messages to the list or to me or even bribes, I will be off cooking food or driving through a blizzard to my sisters house or playing solitaire and I might not process your email for a while. Meanwhile the annoying emails will keep coming and your blood pressure will go up up and up.
