From: "Richard N. Platt, Jr." Greetings, Platt Cousins, Gregory Platt of Prattville, AL has done something that I should have done long ago. That is, establish a Platt distribution list with RootsWeb. Subscribing is easy; I'm forwarding the message on how to do this as an addendum. My Plattlist has now grown to almost 160 names. I have had to add and delete names manually, while RootsWeb is automatic. And there's excellent security, because the list of addresses is not sent with the messages and their policy is never to sell their lists to anyone. I strongly suggest that all of you subscribe to PLATT-L. I have already done so. And any of you can send a message to the entire list as easily as I can. Best wishes, Dick Platt ******************************************************************** Subject: New Roots Web Platt Mailing List! From: "Gregory Platt" Please accept this as your personal invitation to join the new Platt Roots Web Mailing List that I am sponsoring. There is no cost to you, I am covering that as a List Owner. The purpose of this mailing list is to facilitate discussion of our Platt family history and help Platt researchers share information and locate relatives and information. If you choose to subscribe, you will receive all messages posted to the Platt mailing list. When you post a message, it will go to all subscribers. Don't worry about receiving unwanted mail! Rootsweb is a closed mailing list, you have to be subscribed to send on a given list & they do NOT sell their mailing lists. Rootsweb hosts hundreds of genealogy mail lists & web sites. If you are ready to subscribe, send the command "subscribe" to: PLATT-L-request@rootsweb.com If you decide you don't want to be on the mailing list, simply send the message "unsubscribe" to the same address. To post a message so everyone on the list receives it, just send it to: PLATT-L@rootsweb.com Please send your messages in "Plain TExt" format. Also, the mailing listdoes NOT support file attachments. If you find someone you wish to send a file attachment to, you can then use their address to send it. Rootsweb is NOT a commercial site, so no business advertisements are allowed. When you sign up, you will receive a Welcome to the Platt mailing list message. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Until some of you subscribe, I'm the only one on the list, so let's get busy! Gregory Platt Prattville, AL gplatt@bellsouth.net
