> We are new enough we could switch over to a Google group/mailing list,... You can't switch the list to a Google mail list. You could set up a Google mail list, but the Rootsweb TMG-Refugees list would continue to exist. Those who wished could subscribe to the new list, but you shouldn't that do that for them. (My understandig as a list admin is that we aren't supposed to use names or emails for anything other than the Rootsweb list.) While the Google list has worked well for SS, it probably wouldn't for our purposes. We are going to (hopefully) get more people on this list as TMGers start moving to another program. Rootsweb lists are easy to find and the subscription process is easy. We'll get and keep more people is we stick with Rootsweb. Barbara S.

I was kind of hoping that we could move to something other than rootsweb because of the "text only" limitation. My email program sends out HTML messages only, so I have to go to the Web anytime I want to post a message to a rootsweb group. That's why I don't post much...even though there are times that I would love to express my opinion. I get too much email to constantly go to the Web to post. Rootsweb lists may be "easy to find and the subscription process is easy," but for me (and perhaps others depending on how they access their email) it's very inconvenient. JMO...and although at this point I'm staying with TMG, I *am* reading all the messages in the "refugees" group and look forward to making an intelligent decision regarding the possibility of moving to a new program.
