This past month has been a difficult time for all of us, but we > made it through it and each of us are trying to get back to normal, or > as normal as we can again. Part of that getting back to normal is our > quarterly reports. Again, for your information, the VINTAGE-PHOTOS > Mailing List has 264 members, 174 on the Regular list and there are 90 > members on the Digest List. > > If you are interested in knowing about other mailing list out there, one > of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John > Fuller's Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at > http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html > > If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any rootsweb list all > you need to do is visit Password Central located at > http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions and you > will received an e-mail of all lists you belong to and from it you can > unsubscribe from the ones you want to.

If someone posts a message to the list that should not have been > posted, please just delete it. Know that I am taking care of the > problem. If you post your unhappiness, then you just continue on the > problem. I know it is hard when your heart has been offended, but for > my sake, and the sake of the list, please just delete it. Rootsweb has > a wonderful Spam Detective and it stops most of it. You should see what > comes across my screen. I have to look at each of them to make sure > that what was stopped was truly Spam. Once in a while, one slips by > though and if this happens, just delete it and go on with what we all > love, genealogical research. > > 2. If you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line it > might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who > has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who > is searching for the information you are posting. > > 3. Remember to change the Subject line when you change the topic of the > posting. It is confusing to me and the member when your subject line > has nothing to do with your posting. Most likely it will get deleted > and you will not get the response you are looking for. > > 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you > re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check > this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with > some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to > receive your message because of its > size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers > you are looking for. > > 4. The wonderful relationship that develops between list members is > also one of a Mailing Lists Problems. I encourage you to respond to > the entire list with genealogical responses, you never know who your > response will help. In the same thought I would like to ask you to not > respond to the entire list with personal responses. Such as, the first > message from a member says "Happy Birthday Mary" and then Mary says > "Thank you" and then about 60 of our members also > send "Happy Birthday Mary". Mary then sends out 60 more "Thank You" > messages. This is what I mean by personal messages. Just keep in mind > anything is ok to be posted as long as it has to do with the subject of > the list. If you have a doubt ask me. KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net > > 5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any > attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are > taking a chance. > > > Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the posting > of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political > announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, > flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for > removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact > me at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net If one of these items come across > the list, just delete it, do not respond to it.
