Concern: Repetition of  postings are filling e-mail unnecessarily.

Recommend: 
(1). Please use first sentence/paragraph of message to state purpose of
posting as it relates to Subject Line. 

(2). Please  repeat only a few pertinent lines of original posting when public
reply  benefits all subscribers.  Quoting entire message unnecessary and
time/byte consuming. 

(3). Please "chat" with family connections directly via e-mail and not through
rootsweb. Your original post will be sufficient in interesting others to
contact you for a private discussion on family genealogy.

(4). Please  "comment" directly to sender of  an original post via private e-
mail not SCROOTS when in agreement or disagreement of a subject.  A one-on-one
discussion via e-mail can be far more open and again, private. 

(5). Please ask for information only when willing to share your own.

Comment: 
An important and informative  first contact message from a fellow researcher
was overlooked when scanning through the myriad of  repetitive "chats" and
"comments" and could have been lost forever.  Fortunately, the e-mail address
caught my eye, not the SUBJECT Line.

 lines are more likely to be read when a subject/topic directly
relates to a Surname. Subject lines, such as, , , , , are too general and take often valuable time to scan through.
Please, in the interest of time, put SURNAMES (in caps) in  as
topic for discussion or query.

Too many SURNAMES for Subject Line?  Post additional messages listing
additional SURNAMES.
