Greetings all..... Those of you who have been on the list for awhile (or who have read about this on the webpage or in our Welcome Message) know that twice a year (for St. Patrick's Day and again in the fall of the year) we do a special event on the SHAMROCK list where we send in surnames and try and make some connections. PLEASE do not start this now... I always give the list 24 hours notice for those who prefer to switch to digest form from regular mail form as this generates literally over a thousand emails.... so if you have a limited mailbox or don't wish to check it periodically to clean out your mailbox, switching to digest is a good thing to do. Also, we have a few people who prefer to leave the list for this special week and rejoin us when it's over. If you need to switch from regular to digest , send unsubscribe to SHAMROCK-L-request@rootsweb.com and then when you get that confirmation email , send subscribe to SHAMROCK-D-request@rootsweb.com . In both cases, leave the subject line blank, and don't put anything but the word subscribe or unsubscribe in the body of the email (something you should always remember when sending in commands). Again, please don't start sending these surname emails now... we have a format to send them in and directions will be sent to the list tomorrow (Monday) after 6 pm or so when I get home from work. The directions will also be posted on a page on our list website. And if you -still- don't understand what I'm talking about.... just please wait til the directions get sent tomorrow. :) Maura Listowner SHAMROCK <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Maura Petzolt mpetzolt2@webtv.net <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> SHAMROCK ROOTS homepage http://community.webtv.net/shamrockroots/SHAMROCKROOTS Helpful Hints for Successful Searching http://community.webtv.net/mpetzolt2/helpfulhints
