In my hurried frenzy to find, assign, and notify new list managers, I did a lot of message cut 'n paste. As a result, several messages went out with email addresses, names, list names, etc. messed up. So here is a summary of the persons taking over my lists; hopefully this will correct the confusion I may have created. Frank Mitchell (SLOAN-SLONE LIST) fmitchel@panama.phoenix.net John Snoddy (SNODDY LIST) john@snoddy.com Carol Middleton (LANGFORD LIST) cmddltn@bellsouth.net Ginny Thomison (WITCHER LIST) speedieG@webtv.net David Teal (TEEL-TEAL LIST) dteal@dircon.co.uk Tom Nagy (LOYD-LLOYD LIST) tomnagy@nauticom.net I hereby express my sincere thanks to the above brave souls for quickly relieving me of six of a thousand task before me. As of this moment I am now off all the lists as list manager. Any problems you have that need list manager attention should be directed to the above person (BUT THERE SHOULD BE NO NEW ISSUES, RIGHT? GIVE THE NEW LIST MANAGERS A LITTLE SLACK TO START). These volunteers were selected primarily on the basis of their experience as A) list managers of other lists, or B) DP/IT professionals, some cases both. They have volunteered to perform any administrative work required to keep the list active. PLEASE APPLAUD THEM, and please support their admin efforts. You may see a few differences in list appearance or functioning as they imprint their own personalities onto the job. I received email from others willing to volunteer for the task, and I hope I have hurt no one's feelings by not selecting them. I started these lists to supplement the already existing PORTERFIELD list a few years back to assist in locating my ancestors. They have been productive. Many fine 'amateur' researchers of professional level exist out there, and it is they that make the list, not the list manager. Keep up the good work, subscribers. Now I can get back to packing Regards, Garry Porterfield
