Q: HOW DO I SUBSCRIBE TO THIS LIST?
A: There are two ways in which you can receive email from the Listserve:

  • KSCOWLEY-L
    The -L List sends you a copy of each email the list receives. So if the list receives 10 emails. You will receive 10 emails.

    Send the message to: KSCOWLEY-L-request@rootsweb.com
    In the subject type: subscribe

  • KSCOWLEY-D
    The -D List sends you a single (digest) email with an index of the days emails the list receives. After the index each email message is posted. So if the list receives 10 emails. You will receive 1 email with the 10 email messages on it.

    Send the message to: KSCOWLEY-D-request@rootsweb.com

  • Note: The -L and -D is what makes the subscription different. The -D is not used again.

From KATHLEEN:
There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of
each of us when posting to the list.
  1. When sending a posting to the list it would help if you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line. Doing this also might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is searching for the information you are posting. Many members are on many many lists and when they see a subject line that reads "My Ancestors" they just delete it.
  2. When posting a query regarding a surname it would help all of us if you would put your surname in CAPS. This way the members can easily pick out the surnames you are looking for. On the other hand when the entire message is in CAPS we feel that we are being yelled at.
  3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers you are looking for.
  4. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are taking a chance.
  5. Now, the hardest thing is when one of our own, a fellow member becomes upset about a posting from one from one of us. It is so hard not to jump in and add our two cents. I want you to know how much I appreciate it when you just let these posting go by and delete them. Know that I am behind the scenes taking care of the problem. If you ever have a concern that I might have missed a message that needs addressed you are welcome to contact me during the day at Kathleen.burnett@era.com or in the evenings at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net.
  6. If your list has the gateway open, meaning the messages posted on the board also hit he list, know that every once in a while a SPAM message that is caught by the Board filter slips through the gateway and hits the list before it can be stopped. JUST DELETE IT. By responding the the list regarding he offending message, you just continue it on, and there is not one thing I can do about it at that point.
  7. Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at Kathleen Burnett
