When a new user subscribes to a List at RootsWeb, he/she sends the subscription email to an address that contains "-request" in it. That new subscriber receives a Welcome Message that plainly states that email to the List goes to an address that does NOT contain the "-request". An address containing "-request" is ONLY for subscribing or unsubscribing. For some unfathomable reason, there are users who either don't read the Welcome Message, or who can't understand simple instructions. In the future (starting tomorrow, April 2), if a subscriber sends an email to the List address containing the "-request", I will immediately manually unsubscribe that user. If a user doesn't care enough to do things prop- erly, or to read the Welcome Message, then that user doesn't deserve to belong to the List. If you have argument with this stance and wish to discuss it, DO NOT send your reply back to the List !!!!! Send it to me personally at: [email protected] If you reply to this subject back to the List, I will unsubscribe you. I will not tolerate any off-topic arguments on the List. If you are confused as to what I am talking about, I will give you an example of the TWO address that are used with Lists. Where you see "LISTNAME", just substitute the name of the List to which you subscribe. To subscribe to, or unsubscribe from, a List at RootsWeb, you send your email to: [email protected] or [email protected] (Depending on whether you are subscribing to, or unsubscribing from, the Normal mode or the Digest mode.) To send email to the List, you send to: [email protected] (You don't ever send email to "LISTNAME-D".) Some of you subscribe, using the address containing the"-request", then continue to forward email to that same address, even though the Welcome Message explicitly tells you not to. Sorry to be so cantankerous, but I've about had it with people who unpack their computers, plug them up and plug in a cord to the phone outlet, get "online", and then refuse to read anything they receive in the way of HELP files. You wanna participate, you gotta follow the rules. It's that simple. Regards, SgtGeorge List Administrator
