<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=953232501-28092005>All of our
emails/queries/inane babble; is stored are Or-roots, as far as I know, you
can access this info by googling it and will be led directly to whatever google
points you to, but it USED to be that google would point you there, but when you
actually tried to access it you were informed that in order to receive that
information you were required to become a member of the list. I guess that was
to try and keep out spammers or some such, anyway I am pretty sure that was the
way it was when I signed on. As I say I am pretty sure that isn't required now,
but since I am a member I can't prove it. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=953232501-28092005>Anywy that was why a
lot of folks ended up on the list, they were trying to get some info and didn't
understand that what they were signing up for included having to put up with us
gabby OR-roots genealogist untill they unsubscribed. I didn't look at the "wrong
way to unsubscribe" page that close but suspect somewhere it probably still says
that. The disadvantage of the database is that any time somebody send and email
with html in it, the database stores that as text, so if you get something you
may have to wade through a lot of chaff to find the message. I was going to
google some of the stuff we have been talking lately for an example, but can't
come up with a search that gets me there???</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Les</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My curiosity was piqued by your words "in order
to access the database". I'm obviously missing something. What
data base?</FONT></DIV>

<BR>> If I remember correctly in order to access the database you used to
have to<BR>> sign up for the list, and I think some folks assume that is
stll the case<BR>> when they find items listed there while searching,or
maybe not. Anyway I get<BR>> the impression a lot of folks sign up for very
limited purpose and don't<BR>> take kindly to the loose rules we live
by.<BR>> </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
