Bobbi, did you receive my apology I sent directly to you a few days ago? It was not my intent to "belittle" you. I assumed that perhaps you didn't have much, if any, experience on RootsWeb and therefore needed some more specific information, which I did not have time to give at the time you requested it. I had just arrived home after being out of town, was checking lots of email and wasn't paying attention that my response (to John) was going to the list. I realized after I saw my response that I should have chosen a better way to phrase my comments and that is when I apologized directly to you. Regarding the mention of changing the subject on the subject line - I was just saying that in one of my prior emails to you I had advised this - John's detail of the reason to do so was excellent. So, I apologize again to you and also to the list and will try to always remember to check the "To" line - to practice what I preach.
