Nedra, you wanted an example of the kind of gibberish that has ruined this site. Vol 3, issue 40 of Pendleton Digest is a horrid example. There are three short sentences of text from a Donald Trumbo and it is buried in a page-and-a-half of garbage that no one cares about. Who is responsible for this? Why doesn't somebody realize the damage that has been done to the site by this kind of foolishness and do something about it? Bill Rexroad Hutchinson, Kansas

Bill, The Digest mode is not unique so does not have a separate archive. Please send me Vol 3, issue 40 so I can see what you are referencing. I can only check individual messages and have no way of knowing what is in a specific Digest Volume/#. This list had 22 messages in June and 9 so far this month and I found no message in those months from Donald Trumbo. I then did an advanced search (a feature available to all of you) and found NO message in 2008 from anyone named Trumbo or Donald. Our list archives go back to 1995 and the WVPendle-L probably even earlier. Thus it seems that Volume 3 should be at least 10 years ago. I also did a full search of ALL archive messages and found no message was ever sent by "Donald Trumbo." I also checked all of the settings for the Digest mode. The "system" has NO headers or footers unique to Digest mode, so that is not the explanation. Also, the Digest is sent every day or when it reaches 20k in size, whichever is sooner, so no message from the WVPendle-D should be very large. Please do send me this example privately. I am as puzzled as everyone else to figure out what you are seeing. I noted that some senders or their ISPs add footers to their messages, just as Rootsweb does to all our messages. Only the sender or the ISP can control the content of individual messages, including the footers. Rootsweb has no means of stripping footers off individual messages. Since a Digest is sent every day anyway, you might try using the -L list mode rather than Digest for awhile to see if this helps the problem.
