I'm new to this list and am afraid I don't understand all the messages
from
Maggie, to reply to the Ohio Franklin Co. gen forum - is this a list for
Franklin Co. Ohio?

Hi, Dorothy. Some people seem to be a bit confused by this, and insist
on replying to this list, when replying to this kind of msg.

Maggie maintains this mailing list, HOWEVER she also maintains a
companion website:

http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Franklin

The website generates queries, and Maggie then posts them over here on
this mailing list, hoping to reach a wider audience. She very
SPECIFICALLY notes which of these queries are from her website, and also
tells anyone to respond to the we individual and not to this list. She
includes these instructions:

EXAMPLE:


This is a forwarded message. Please reply
to the person/email listed below.

----- Original Message -----
From: USER NAME <>
To: <>
Sent: Sunday, January 30, 2000 9:31 PM
Subject: SURNAMES: BLANK, UBIQUITOUS, ETC

END EXAMPLE

I hope this explains the procedure.
For some strange reason, certain other, folks seem to ignore the
instructions and just blithefully reply back to this list, ignoring
the Listowner's (Maggie) simple instructions. It is very likely that if
a reply is made here, the person who made the original query will not
see it, as they are probably not a subscriber to this list; thus
Maggie's
instructions to reply to the individual's e-mail address and not here.
