My final thoughts on the matter, I'm sure y'all are happy about that. It is amazing how many people don't know the meaning of the English word /TOPIC/ (/the thing or area being discussed/). If a website is engaged in selling or bartering then it is a commercial website. I've been on numerous RootsWeb mail lists since 1996. I've seen a members booted for telling tasteless racist jokes [KYMason]. I've seen a whole group booted for trying to create a new breakaway group opposed to the topic of the existing group ([Sears] England vs Holland). I've seen a person viciously lash out and unsubscribe from a list because she was writing personal-life anecdotes having nothing to do with the topic [NYNiagara] and people were objecting. I've also seen people who possess a picture or objects they'd like to share. Here's how you approach this current situation: "I have some interesting Hessian pins that I would be willing to sell at cost. Please contact me off-list". That's how it is done folks. The amrev-hessians list-administrator should know this. Btw, what Nelda Percival said about mail list changes when Ancestry bought RootsWeb is not true. The basic mail list rules have always been the same down through the years to today. I don't know what she is talking about. Please don't address me with hit-the-delete-button, hate postings because my next action will be to unsubscribe. -- Dan Cooley [email protected] wrote: "Sieg Heil" In a message dated 2/25/2012 11:41:37 A.M.

I think that is what you should go ahead and do - unsubscribe that is ~ I have been following this list for years and I have never seen anything as petty as this! You seem to be the only unhappy one so leave and let the rest of us have some peace!
