Hello subscribers,

I would like to ask you a question, and would like for your replies to
come to me (if possible; I know that the way I have this list set up that
it may not work).

As a sponsor of Rootsweb, I am eligible for the new Personalized Mailing
List (PML) feature. I filled out my profile yesterday. I included the
term "Lutheran" as one of my criteria (but excluded any messages coming
from our list).

I have now received copies of numerous messages relating to Lutherans and
Lutheran churches. I am strongly considering forwarding each and every
one of them to this list, and would like your feedback on this proposal.

As I see it, the following pros and cons apply:


Pro #1) I may forward a message that helps you find either your ancestors
or the records that pertain to them.


Pro #2) You may be able to help some of the people who wrote the messages,
by providing pertinent information to them.

This aspect I see as a win-win situation.


Con #1) It's possible that the messages I forward will have no relevance
to any of the subscribers on this list.


Con #2 -- which could also be seen as a pro in a different light) A
significant increase in the traffic on this list.


Please send me your feedback on this proposal, off-list if possible. If
the only way you can reply is to reply to the list, then do that, but try
off-list first.


-- Thanks,
Mary Taffet
List Administrator for LUTHERAN-ROOTS
