[or-roots] unsubscribing/ A reply from Texas

[Ray Powell]

Don't be too hard on the unsubscribers! They just might be too busy to go through all those at this time and they choose to unsubscribe until they have more time. Not all of them unsubscribe because of the subject. It is too easy for us to assume the worst possible reason why they might be unsubbing. Keep up the anecdotes! Who knows? We might find one that involves one of our family!

  I am sorry to hear that people are leaving this most interesting channel. I remember a quote (can't recall the author) who said that everyone had a responsibility to their ancestors.  However, the author said, "responsibility for seeking knowledge about genealogy, places of birth and where one came from was a burden easily shifted to the shoulders of God, Fate, Fortune, Luck or one's neighbor.  In the days of astrology it was customary to unload responsibility upon a star."

   

  As a resident of Texas, I truly enjoy reading every one of the emails that travels this connection.  Keep up the good work.  Poppy

  Folks who are trying to get away from our incessant babble by unsubscribing

  need to follow directions further down the page, as far as I know it is the

  only way to get yourself off this list, it was called to my attention by a

  person who was trying to unsubscribe yesterday that instructions for this

  process found at;

   

  http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/listserv_roots.html

   

  are why we are seeing their attempts in our inboxes, as I told them, List

  Mom is a very busy person and if as I understand it that page is no longer

  valid, I apologize for her that it is still out there confusing the issue.

  In order to unsubscribe you need to go to;

   

  http://sosinet.sos.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/or-roots

   

  at the bottom you will see an "edit options" box where you enter your email

  and will be asked for password etc on the next page.

   

  If you have done all of this and are still getting email, or having done

  this is why we are seeing your "unsubscribe" email on the list, right under

  the "edit options" box is a link to Contact Layne with your problem, if you

  have to do so please be patient with her, she is a very busy person.
