Dear Clark County Resaerchers: I waited until I could double-check the Rootsweb Mail List Utilities Page before commenting. Lately there has been a flurry of activity on the list as countless biographies and obituaries of former Clark County residents get posted. Personally, I've enjoyed every single one. Now for some technical information about how the Digest is set up..... Anyone NOT wanting to receive each posting as a separate email is encouraged to subscribe to the list in Digest Mode. Send an email to WICLARK-D-request@rootsweb.com with the word subscribe in the subject line. However, if 100 biographies get posted, you are still going to receive 100 biographies..... they will simply be "grouped" together. Even if you are in Digest mode, you can receive more than one Digest each day. The current setting is to release a Digest once ever 24 hours...... UNLESS an additional post that would get added to the waiting "group" puts the Digest over 40,000 characters. For example: There are 3 posts of 5000 characters each (15,000 characters total) waiting to be released in Digest mode. The next Digest is scheduled to be released in 10 hours. Suddenly there are 10 more posts added, each containing 5000 characters. This causes the total number of CHARACTERS in the waiting Digest to reach 65,000 characters. The way the lists are set up, even though the Digest is not scheduled to be sent for 10 more hours, it will be sent when those 10 posts were added simply because the character limit has now been reached. For the information of everyone concerned, 40,000 characters is the HIGHEST possible setting. As long as there are so many lengthy posts being added, there will also be numerous Digests released each day. All contributions and contributors are encouraged! It saddens me when people unsubscribe because they have to sort through all this valuable information. A suggestion I can make is to filter your email by making a separate folder for anything that comes addressed to WICLARK. That way everything received from WICLARK will go directly to its own folder and not be mixed in with all your other email. But remember: 100 posts is still 100 posts, regardless if they arrive separately or in a bundle. I'd be willing to bet that some of the lists with hundreds of subscribers would be envious if they knew the wealth of DOCUMENTED information that is flashing before our eyes each day! Clark County may be small, but what it lacks in quantity it makes up for with quality. A debt of gratitude goes out to these major contributors for keeping life in our tiny little group.
