This list, like many other lists at RootsWeb, has just experienced a mass unsubbing of their subscribers. One reason this happens is that an ISP has decided RootsWeb is a spammer and rejects list messages, to which the RootsWeb listserver responds by unsubbing the subscribers. (A requirement of list membership is that you accept list messages.) If at any time you get a notice that you've been removed from a RootsWeb mailing list when you had no intention of leaving, please check with your ISP to make certain they have not decided RootsWeb is a spammer. This is not something RootsWeb can fix because, at this point, your ISP considers RootsWeb a spammer, so won't listen to complaints from them. Their own customers have to be the ones making the complaint. Once you have your ISP's agreement to not block your list messages, then you need to re-subscribe to the list. Sorry for the hassle, but things like this happen when you put computers in charge of making decisions, in this case, deciding who is or is not a spammer. Diana Y-DNA-PROJECTS Listadmin
