<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.

<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>
