Re the message from kiwicanucks@canada.com, that the Osama joke was inappropriate for a genealogy list. For Heaven's sake, is it a crime to have a joke go thru every once in awhile, something to make you smile. I don't understand why people on the list get so upset because every so often, someone gets a cute email they'd like to share with their friends (and that's what the list becomes, is our friends), or they hear something that might bring a smile to someones face, or might brighten an otherwise gloomy day. What is the harm. You could tell by the subject line that the message was not genealogical, so why did you read it. Perhaps you thought it was someone tracing his family history? Smile a little. Pat
