[Genealib] [MODERATOR] New signature policy *** NO RESPONSES, PLEASE ***

[treviawbeverly]

[MODERATOR] New signature policyDonna, personally, and I'm sure I speak for everyone else --- no problem your being on the list.  It's an open one and a lot of us are not professional librarians.  Some of us  volunteer at libraries, some of us are professional genealogists (me in both instances) and just try to learn all we can. - and because I take advantage of the list I try to help when I can (in the past I think people on the list have benefited). 
     I don't know how new you are to the list but a few months ago I compiled and sent to all who requested it a list of 'Gretna Greens.'  It is still available if you (or anyone else) have an interest in the subject and wants to contact me off list at
treviawbeverly at comcast.net 

The question was not meant to bring into play any kind of back & forth --- so folks, let this be the last said, please.  However, someone did take issue with me and I replied personally.  

Stephen, if I need to make an apology to you, I do so now!  My reason for asking still stands and I have checked several of our members who are church archivists as well as several special collection librarians --- no viable results.  Sorry!  But at least I was willing to give it a try. Good luck with your project.

  TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

  My name is Donna Johnson.  I have subscribed to your list somehow, some way.   It has been so long I don't even remember.  I did this by way of doing genealogy research. I do not work with or for a library.   If my being on your list is a problem, then please tell me how to get off the list.  I only reply when I feel i have some pertinent information.

  Thank you,
  Donna Johnson

    A recent exchange has prompted me to institute the following GENEALIB list policy, effective immediately:

    ***

    GENEALIB is a professional list.  As such, all posters are reasonably expected to sign their postings with their full names and their organizational affiliation (if any). 

    If a poster feels that an exception should be made for a particular posting, the poster should communicate with the moderator for approval *prior* to posting.

    ***

    You all may now resume your usual, professional discussion.

    Regards,
    Drew Smith
    GENEALIB List Administrator
