Excuse me, but what the genealogy list is about is sharing information sharing and making connects,

Actually, R Kemp (I wonder if we are kin) is correct. A properly done Roll Call would never have subject lines like "Roll Call" "My Webbs" or "Calling All Webbs". It should always be like "Webb, firstname here. location, date" or as much of this info as the writer has. On many, if not most, Rootsweb surname lists this is a rule. On those where it is not a rule it still should be done this way as a common courtesy and for much better efficiency on getting the proper list members together with those who they can help. BTW, it's also a rule on most, and I believe it either is or was on this one, that only the list owner is allowed to call for a Roll Call and that he always gives a couple of days warning before doing so. Some people need warning to do a stop mail on their subscription if their mailbox is too small to handle the large volume of mail usually created, and others like myself like to set up a special folder before it starts so that all emails from this individual list are automatically downloaded there separately from other emails to make them easier to sift through all the onslaught of email. Most of us who are serious with our research are on many many lists and get far too many emails to open and read every one. (I am on over 100 lists and get several hundred emails per day) We skim the subject lines and open the ones which look like they may be connected. Those like the samples above will get deleted unread and we have possibly missed the chance to either help someone else or to have them help us, simply because they did not use a proper subject line. Much LESS information gets shared when it is done the way many of these are being done. Tim Kemp Descended from Edmond and Elizabeth Webb whose daughter Elizabeth married Robert Kemp July 06, 1678 in Talbot County, Maryland Does anyone have any of their ancestory? I have nothing on Edmond and Elizabeth other than the one daughter Elizabeth.
