Please post queries for the SURNAMES-*@rootsweb.com mailing lists and the linked soc.genealogy.surnames.* newsgroups to: soc-genealogy-surnames-global@rootsweb.com The posting problem I first mentioned on February 29th has not yet been fixed. The SURNAMES@rootsweb.com address that we normally advertise is not working. Messages sent to this address seem to be lost without any notice to the sender. This may also be true of the other SURNAMES-* list addresses. Also be sure not to include any attachments to your posts. Queries with html attachments are also being lost with no notice to the sender. See http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/listowners/html-off.htm for instructions on turning off HTML in most of the popular mail programs, or ask your ISP's technical support line for help. I don't know whether the missing messages are lost for good, or if they'll be processed when the problem is fixed. I apologize for the inconvenience. Regards, Bill Mills one of the volunteers at surnames-admin@rootsweb.com
