The list is private and only subscribers can post messages to the list. A welcome message will be sent to you after you have been subscribed. If you're not sure what a discussion or mail list is, see the explaination below. I will try to keep the rules of list usage to a minimum, however, I have put the following guidelines in place to help the list function as smoothly as possible.
Messages having to do with genealogy or history of the area are acceptable.
The list is not moderated. Any message sent to the list is automatically sent to everyone on the list. While I in no way want to stifle free discussion, as listowner, I reserve the right to step in if a flame war erupts or a topic becomes tedious for other subscribers, or if someone becomes unseemly. The use of profanity will not be tolerated. When responding to a previous message, it is not necessary to quote the entire message.
