Hi, You may have already picked up on this Anne, but I know you meant to say put unsubscribe, in this situation. You are a great List Mom. We appreciate your work for us. Connie

Dear Connie: Actually...no, I hadn't already picked up on this. It went right over my head! Thanks for catching this! I probably wasn't concentrating as I should have been because it is a pet peeve of mine when people can manage to get themselves onto lists, but can't for the life of them seem to manage to get themselves back off when they choose, so they end up disrupting the entire list with their unsubscribe commands! :) It happens to all of us from time to time because we simply forget to put the word '-request' after the 'SHAW-L', but some people make a career out of it by deliberatly emailing the list in the first place, then continuing to email the list (apparently expecting a different result each time!), becoming crankier with each new email because they haven't been instantly unsubscribed. I am more than happy to unsubscribe someone if they ask nicely. Give me a chance to see the email first before you start getting impatient and email the list again and again. Or try emailing me directly (not through the list), and writing 'TO ANNE' in the subject line of the email so I can see it is for me, and is not routine list mail. Contrary to what some might think, I am not sitting here hour by hour day by day monitoring the email as it comes in! :) Nobody does, because this list is not moderated. So please realize that it might take me a day or so to see your email, depending on how busy the list mail is, and how busy I am. For that reason, you will be unsubscribed much more quickly if you learn to do it yourself. The formula for subscribing to and unsubscribing from ALL rootsweb lists is the same. To UNSUBSCRIBE: <List Name>-L(or -D if digest mode)-request@rootsweb.com Using that formula, to unsubscribe from the Shaw list you would address your email thusly: SHAW-L-request@rootsweb.com or if you are subscribed in digest mode: SHAW-D-request@rootsweb.com Type only the word unsubscribe in the body of the message. Nothing is necessary in the subject line. There...now that's off my chest! I think I will edit the tag lines for the list, and include unsubscribe information there.
