Colleen, welcome and thank you! Great to meet another cousin. (Hey, everyone's a cousin even if we haven't proved how yet.) One suggestion: >**ROLL CALLS -- If we need one because of a too-quiet list, I'll >announce it. Why me?... Well, with a list this large a roll call >requires some preparation and instructions. I have guidelines for our >newbies that help them be able to participate, as well. I also try to >help our >lurkers be willing to join in. It does nobody any good to have a roll >call if half the people can't/won't contribute. If you do a roll call, I hope you'll suggest that people put their surnames in the subject line (as for regular messages) rather than using the subject line "Re: Roll Call." As you mention earlier, surnames in the subject lines are much easier to find. Thanks! While I'm here, though, my Lee Co. surnames are BOWLIN(G), HALL, RUTHERFORD, and SMITH (yeah, gonna find Elizabeth Smith real soon).
