November 2004
  • Geelong & District Mailing List & Bellarine Peninsula Mailing List : One of the Rootsweb servers is "partaking in conniptions of a disruptive nature" - in other words many of the Rootsweb Mailing Lists are currently not working.  For updates and the latest information always check the Rootsweb Help page.  If you think you might have bounced off a list for reasons other than the Rootsweb server problem, you can always check the lists you're subbed to at Rootsweb Password Central.  In the meantime, just be patient - the Rootsweb guru (an Aussie!) is working night and day to resolve the problem, so rest assured that the Mailing Lists will be functioning again as soon as is humanly possible (then again, Andrew is super-human so maybe even quicker! <vbg>).  Andrew has been able to notify all List Admins of the progress but it's impossible to notify all subscribers.  Generally when Andrew notifies us, the Help page is also updated.  Please also be aware that once mail for the Mailing Lists starts flowing again, it will take a while for it to settle down to "normal" - because of a large backlog of messages, they will be fed through in small doses and could be out of chronological order.  Remember that this is a wonderful free service and people are doing their best to sort this out for us. ..... Susie Z, List Admin.
