About 48 hours ago listowners received a notice that the Rootsweb server (including webpages and lists) would be down for about 24 hours for "maintenence". It's now been much longer than the 48 hours, and I"ve seen only a few messages going through two lists I am on, one my CountyCork list and one small parish list for Louisiana I am on. As of this writing I have seen no messages at all come through for the SHAMROCK or Waterford lists. I'm writing to tell you this as I am already getting a deluge of "what's wrong" messages and people trying to resubscribe because they think they were unsubbed .... which is causing more problems. Also, this is Mardi Gras holiday for us down in Mobile... so I am not around a lot to monitor what is going on. So... maybe you will get this message soon to explain why you haven't gotten any messages, maybe it will not go through until Rootsweb is finished doing whatever it is they are doing. In any case, please don't send messages to the list or to me about this... it's beyond my control. When the server is running again we should get all messages that have been sent during this "down time" (hopefully). Thanks for understanding and Happy Mardi Gras....
