Tina and all, My preference would be for WIGEN-L to remain archived. Since its main concern is the business of the WIGenWeb Project, it is important for a record to be kept that is accessible to all WIGenWeb members. A list archive is the simplist way to do that, since the computers do it for us. The archive has been very useful to me on several occasions when I needed to refer to a message that I had already deleted from my inbox, or that was for some reason culled out by the spam filter my mail service uses. --- Deana Hipke Volunteer County Coordinator Marinette County WIGenWeb Project Genealogy and Local History http://rootsweb.com/~wimarine --------- Original Message --------- DATE: Tue, 11 Nov 2003 10:46:12 From: "Tina S Vickery" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: >Hi all, > >I asked the archive accessibility question of Rootsweb. If the list becomes an unarchived list than no one would have access to its archives because it is simply not archived. That makes obviously a lot of sense. <smile> I am told that if the list is unarchived than Personalized Mailing Lists (PML) is disabled. > >This is a closed subscription list and the choice is yours as to whether to be in L mode (receive each post) or in D mode (posts batched together and delivered at intervals) depending on the traffic of the list. > >This list is a business list for WIGenWeb Project volunteers. I have always advocated that "this list is where we will discuss all matters having to do with the WIGenWeb Project. This list is our way to communicate with each other, and work together. All WIGenWeb Project volunteers are encouraged to use it for that purpose. It will not only answer a question that you may been struggling with, share a resource that will be beneficial to all, but serve as a tool for us all to work together." > >Tina ____________________________________________________________ Enter now for a chance to win a 42" Plasma Television! http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;6413623;3807821;f?http://mocda1.com/1/c/563632/113422/313631/313631 AOL users go here: http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;6413623;3807821;f?http://mocda1.com/1/c/563632/113422/313631/313631 This offer applies to U.S. Residents Only
