I certainly enjoying all this "new life" to the Cannon list. Let's keep it going. A small suggestion. Someone has correctly pointed out that it increases bandwidth usage and server time to always quote in its entirety, the original message, when replying to someone. Bandwidth and time equals money on the internet. Rootsweb provides us this space, at no charge, and is totally supported by various grants & donations. Let's do our part to keep these cost down, simply by not quoting the previous post in it's entirety, when replying. If necessary to "quote", just cut and paste a short note of the necessary facts, only. Another note.. several servers, in an attempt to reduce spam, are using various "Spam detectors". One 3rd party detector that keeps popping up here, is "SPAMCOP.net".. For more info, see.. http://www.spamcop.net/bl.shtml?66.43.27.27 For some reason, "SpamCop" has decided that "lists8.rootsweb.com", a rootsweb site that contains several lists, including our "TnCannon", is all SPAM and automatically blocks any letters coming from Rootsweb to it's users. These blocks (bounces) eventually arrive back at the rootsweb server. After 3 such bounces, Rootsweb automatically removes the person from the Cannon (or other) list. Rootsweb automatically alerts the party that they are in the process of being removed, and to take certain actions to stop it. Unfortunately, "SpamCop" blocks these warnings also (as SPAM), so folks don't know they are unlisted. They just quit getting mail from the list, one day. And, since they have been removed from the list, I don't know who they are, either. So, if some of your old friends suddenly wonder why they aren't getting TnCannon mail, anymore, that is why. I haven't had much luck in writing to various server people, asking simply that "lists8.rootsweb.com" be added to their accept list, which would solve the problem. I generally get a short answer implying that I'm out in the weeds and THEY don't have any problem. Not to call names, but a "heart" server, located in middle Tennessee, shows up regularly, but there are also others. I don't have any good ideas as to how to resolve it, being an outsider, and not a user of their services. Only you, as users, can apply pressure. Unfortunately, several regular users of this list have already been automatically removed. This post that you are reading, since it is coming to you via RootsWeb, probably would be blocked from them and bounced anyway. You, as individuals can write to your friends who no longer seem to be on our list. Tell then to resubscribe to TnCannon, and to put pressure on their individual servers to put "lists8.rootsweb.com" on their blanket accept list. Jess Lewis.. TnCannon list Adm., for RootsWeb
