While this description of the Rootsweb GEN-NEWBIE-L list would lead you to believe that it's for those new in genealogy, my experience there says that it has been opened up to all computer newbies and many other non-genealogy subjects. Many, many messages have absolutely nothing to do with genealogy. Just my two cents worth..... Dave -----Original Message----- From: roots-in@roots-l.rootsweb.com [mailto:roots-in@roots-l.rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Kathie Harrison Sent: Monday, February 06, 2006 11:51 AM To: ROOTS-M@rootsweb.com Subject: [ROOTS-L] GEN-NEWBIE To the insensitive list member regarding the use of the word newbie. It is a word. Use your Google search engine. Also Rootsweb has a list specifically for the NEWBIE. SO before you take the low road and criticize the grammar, spelling or your idea of what is correct or incorrect. Please stop sending your FLAMES to me on or off this list. Inflammatory emails are also reportable to your ISP as harassment, so next time think before you send. GEN-NEWBIE-L http://www.rootsweb.com/~newbie/ Gen-Newbie started as an electronic mailing list for people who were new to computers and/or genealogy, to ask questions, help others, and generally share information, research techniques, brick walls, and computer/genealogy woes. We began, officially, on October 31, 1996, as an offshoot of the renowned Roots-L. Since then we have gained over 1,000 members, a unique community that supports the honest and open newbie questions in a flame-free, tolerant atmosphere concerning genealogy/computers. SENIOR-NEWBIE-L Topic: A mailing list for people of all ages who would like help learning to use the internet and/or their computer for genealogy purposes in a safe environment, without being made to feel stupid. It is not for queries related to specific ancestral searches. http://lists.rootsweb.com/ Try some of these links to find a definition in computer/geek language. http://www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newbie http://www.newbie.com/ http://www.newbieclub.com/index.php?
