Welcome to the Memory-Lane mail list homepage.  I'm Margy Bousman, list administrator for this list.  I may be reached concerning administrative matters at:

Memory-Lane is an archived mail list of our memories.  We share our memories of family members and events that helped shaped our lives.  We hope that generations from now our descendants will come to our archives and see how we viewed our world.

We welcome all members memories and encourage everyone to jump in and say hi.  One person's memory frequently sparks a memory for someone else.  It's fun when a thread reminds people of events long forgotten. 

We also enjoy celebrating birthdays of our members.  Please feel free to share the month and day of your birth with us.   We ask that you not give your year of birth for your own protection.  Our hostesses wish members a happy birthday on list and many of our members will write you wishes off list.  Later, if you choose to, we enjoy hearing how you spent your day, and/or you could share memories of birthday's past.

To send a message to the Memory-Lane list, send an email to:

To post to the list you must first be a subscribed list member.  Please remember to put something in the subject line when you post. Most always if the subject line is blank RootsWeb's computer thinks you are trying to subscribe and your message will not make the list.  If it does make the list, many people will delete messages unread that have no subject.

Please note: This list is set up so that all replies automatically go to the person not the list.  To respond to the list click Reply All and highlight and delete the poster's address.  That way they don't receive two copies of your message.

To subscribe or unsubscribe from the list, send an email to:

L Subscription=You receive each message as it is posted to the list.

[email protected]

or

[email protected]

D Subscription= You receive a group of messages, depending on time passed or size and number of messages.

Put subscribe (and nothing else) or unsubscribe (and nothing else) in the subject line of the message.  Putting it in the body also is fine.

When replying to Memory-Lane (this can also apply to private replies) try to quote some portions of the previous message so that other readers are reminded what the "thread" is about.  Make it clear what is quoted material and what you are adding.  Most mail readers take care of this for you by inserting great-than signs ">" at the beginning of each quoted line or possibly double brackets "<<"  before and ">>" after the quoted piece.  Please don't include the whole message, just the relevant parts that you are replying to.

Please do not post virus alerts to the list, unless it is okayed by the List Admin first.

If a message is posted to the list that seems inflammatory, off topic, etc., please know that I will talk to the person off list.  I don't send my private messages to list members to our public list.  I value our list members for the people they are, differences in our personalities are natural and add spice to our dialogs.  We can disagree on subjects without being ugly to each other.
