Hi, This really only applies to those of you who subscribed and received the 'automatic' welcome message - the first 50 subscribers were treated to a personal message from yours truly. In the 'Welcome' message that was sent to everyone who subscribed, I suggested a look at the list archives. The Rootsweb Threaded Archive server is down at present, and has been for several days. It seems they're short of some 'hardware widget' or something to fix the problem. The 'searchable' archives are still accessible.by using the URL - http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/isearch2 Dave Jassie - List Administrator THEATRE-UK [email protected] Greetings from Lincoln, England
