GENHUMOR-L
Genealogy & Family Humor
Mail-List

A Mail-List for the discussion of Genealogy & Family Humor is now available. This is NOT a general humor mail list. It is "restricted" to humor concerning genealogy & family life and is for the enjoyment of age groups 10 to 100+. This is not a monitored list, BUT, you are responsible for not going too far off-subject.


LIST POLICIES

  1. "KEEP IT CLEAN"....... You abuse it, you lose it!!
           
      A lot of jokes/humor can be "cleaned up" for presentation on this list and still be humorous.
              If your post is "questionable" send it to me first and I will decide if it should be forwarded.

  2. NO FLAMES: Send all comments (good or bad) to . Sending comments to the list concerning your approval or disapproval of postings offered "could" be grounds for your suspension or removal from the list. FLAME WARS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!!

  3. While race, religion, sex & politics are a part of everyday life, no "bashing" of any is allowed. This is a very "touchy" area, please be VERY respectful of those that may not have the same beliefs as yourself.

  4. ANY posting of ....off subject topics "may" lead to a timed suspension or removal from this mail-list. This is a "genealogy & family humor" list.... not a place for posting general humor or genealogical materials, requests, links or announcements. There are other lists for such postings.
    See:
    http://www.rootsweb.com/~maillist/ .  For a complete listing of internet genealogy mailing lists, check out: http://users.aol.com/johnf14246/gen_mail.html .

  5. As Listowner, I reserve the right to remove any subscriber, for any reason, that I determine as detrimental to the purpose and spirit of this list!

  6. DO NOT SEND attachments, virus warnings, chain letters, etc. to this list.

  7. Learn to use your "delete" button. There will be postings that not everyone finds humorous. Delete them and move on. If you find this list does not fit your needs, just unsubscribe yourself, without comments to the list.

  8. NEW: Your messages will be rejected by the Rootsweb Mail-list software, if SmartList detects any file attachments (including VCARDS), HTML messages and enriched text postings. See Below:

  9. If you can agree to abide by the aforementioned policies and guidelines we would love to have you join in! If you cannot, then perhaps another humor list would better fit your needs and ours.

  10. ENJOY!!


Remember, if you send your message to GenHumor-L@rootsweb.com, it will go to everyone on the list. If you stay on-subject then most of your responses should of interest to the whole list. But, you can keep personal responses... Personal, by replying only to the sender.

Since there is sometimes confusion as to which e-mail address to send "SUBSCRIBE" & "UNSUBSCRIBE" information to and sometimes the copy of the List Welcome Letter gets lost, I will try to make it as easy as possible. I will leave this page in place. You can even save a copy of this whole page to a folder on your hard disk and send messages through your browser.

Reminder: DO NOT send virus warnings, chain letters, general announcments, attachments, etc. to the list. If you think something might be important enough for everyone to know, then send it to me and I will decide if it needs to be forwarded to the list. The only FLAMES allowed around here are from a warm, cozy fireplace or the hot sun. If you receive any "flame," I want you for forward a copy to me and please do not respond to it. I will take care of any problems. Let's all have fun, make new friends, find new relatives and enjoy this wonderful media. 

DATE: 6/27/98 ---- Effective immediately, SmartList (our list server) will begin to reject messages all mail sent to all Mail Lists on RootsWeb servers back to the poster **** IF **** SmartList detects any file attachments (including VCARDS), HTML messages and enriched text postings.
To ensure your messages reach the lists, please do the following:
        1. Make sure you do not post anything in HTML if you are using Netscape Communicator Mail, you change this by clicking.......
"Edit"
"Preferences"
"Mail & Groups Messages"
"More Options".....third window, select text only

* if you are using Netscape Navigator, no change should be required
* if you are using any other mail reader, contact your service provider for assistance
* if you are using a WEBTV interface, don't use the signatures encouraged by WEBTV for messages to the lists
on rootsweb - they are in HTML & will be rejected by our list server.

        2. Don't attach any messages or forward messages to the list
Instead do a "reply to" & change the "To" address to the list address - make sure the "forwarded" messages
are on topic for the surname.

REMEMBER:    no chain letters, virus warnings, etcetera & so on...If you are unsure send a message to the list
sponsor & ask.

       3. Never attach a GEDCOM to your message - we have a size limit on messages that go through SmartList. Instead, get a free website at http://www.geocities.com, http://www.angelfire.com, http://www.tripod.com, or any other of a number of free website hosts...... Convert your GedCom to HTML using a conversion tool like.... Gendex's Ged2HTML (http://www.gendex.com/ged2html/),
GedPage http://www.frontiernet.net/~rjacob/gedpage.htm
or others listed at Cyndi's List http://www.CyndisList.com/software.htm

(BTW, everyone doing genealogy online should know about Cyndi's list at http://www.CyndisList.com               bookmarked - it's a great resource!)

Then after you have your info online, send the URL to the list.

And lastly, let us encourage you to join rootsweb & support them financially.
The folks running this service put out thousands of dollars into it from their own pockets both in labor & hardware/software upgrades - if you appreciate the service from rootsweb, let it show by becoming a subscriber.
Instructions for subscribing can be found at http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html - membership is about $1/month. (note from LeAnne: I pay Ancestry.com $4.95/month for my subscription & get a lot more use out of rootsweb for my $24 list sponsor level membership.)
BTW, if there is not already a mailing list for your surnames of interest, you can sponsor up to two lists if you are a member at the $24 level.
