Keith, I felt my message would be of general information, as I'm sure many listers are not aware that this list is entirely open to the general public and not just to members. I am perfectly aware how to send a private message should the need arise.

In the way that Mr. Guy Etchells has written to me for the sole purposes of arguing with me! What I don't understand is how he knew I had posted...... ?! [someone knows but please don't reply in speculation.] Exercising the Freedom of Information Act is open to everyone and it was easy to do because the 1911 census was not held by the Office of National Statistics. I applaud the common man who exercises their rights but lets not have heroics.

I think you'll find Guy is a member of many lists and I wouldn't think it impossible that he read your message himself. As for heroics, Guy isn't in it for himself. Guy has gone out of his way to help as many people as possible in their quest for FOI. You should be thanking Guy for his efforts, not criticising him or accusing him of heroics. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Janet" <wightway@tiscali.co.uk> Sent: Sunday, December 06, 2009 4:51 PM To: <aberdeen@rootsweb.com> Subject: [ABERDEEN] OT: Re: 100 year limit?
