Some basics guidelines
and rules:
PURPOSE OF LIST: The
purpose of the list is for us to share information
About Genealogy in Craig County,
Oklahoma. Nothing else.
***Please do not send flames.
***Please do not try to tell
others what they can or can't do on the list.
***Please limit sig files to
3 lines or less.
***Please do not post virus warnings
or other hoaxes. Please note, that there Is no documented case of anyone
getting a virus through reading an email. You must open an attachment
to get a virus.
*** Please do not post anything
you do not want public.
*******************The best guidelines
come from plain Old fashioned common sense. Here are few "technical" suggestions
that will help ensure a successful mail list experience:
Most of RootsWeb's mailing lists
are not moderated, so your email will go to All the list subscribers. Take
time to format your post - think about who your Target audiences is and
state your query or reply clearly.
Post your surnames in all CAPS.
This means - last names only. Capitalized Surnames are easier to identify
in a long text message.
State your subject clearly. Do
not be vague or your post will go unread. Good Subject lines would include:
LAST NAME, first name (date of birth-date of Death) place of birth (city,
county, state, country).
When replying to a thread (mail
message) remove the auto generated RE: and Add a new subject line.
Most Re's subject lines are not read by mail list users. Also cut and paste
only the portion of the mail needed to clarify your reply.
When replying to a digest message,
remove the RE: and cut the trailing digest (The copied portion of the old
mail -- in digest - the entire digest is copied into The new mail).
Cut and paste only the portion of the digest needed to clarify Your reply.
***DO NOT CROSS POST TO ANOTHER
MAIL LIST.
***Do not send off topic messages
to the list, do not send "SPAM" in any form. This includes mail messages
that are not on topic for your list, Commercial advertising, or threatening
mail (just to be annoying) and EVEN suggestions and comments on what are
not topic.
*** If you have a problem unsubscribing,
the culprit is usually a small Change in your email address. The
one you subbed with and the one you Are using, as your return address now
must match exactly. Even a Change in capitalization will cause the
computer to not recognize it. Check the header of a piece of list
mail and compare the address the Computer used to send it to you to the
return address you are using Now. If you need help, email me.
If you have changed ISP's and the Old address is no longer valid, please
tell me. I will get bounce Messages on it.
So much for rules and guidelines.......GOOD
LUCK IN YOUR SEARCH.
