For everyone to know the complaint from the "listowner" did NOT come from me for Sevier and Howard Cos. mailing list. Obviously it was from another listowner of another list. However I did send a private email asking that problems of other lists not be shared on "my" mailing lists as it promotes things such as: > Of all the things to pick out to find not right on here makes me decide > to > unsubscribe to Howard County. As I told one of the many that contacted me that when I read it, had I not known better I would have thought I was the listowner that was mentioned. The email was worded incorrectly and reflected that the list was Sevier or Howard Co. Those of you who know me and have been on my lists long enough know I am not strict with the list as long as it pertains to genealogy in some fashion. But I do not tollerate spams, arguing among listers (keep it between yourselves or contact me directly), or rudeness. But those that know me ... know I will email you privately and give you caution. And only if you persist will I block you from my lists. Genealogy comes in many forms...whether it is mention of names and dates...or "general" comments on doing research. There are many new ones to genealogy that ideas may help them continue their search...or us old ones that may have forgotten something or find an easier way for our search thru someones experience.If there are those that do not like the "general" comments ... delete it...no one gets any more spam mail than I do in a days time and it isn't hard for me to delete (except on a bad day <g>) While I have your attention...while at the National Genealogical Society's Conference in Nashville, TN last week ... the AR Genealogical Society had the new Prior Births ( which contains birth information of over 100,000 people born in Arkansas prior to 1905 ) available. I know the cd with volume 1, 2 & 3 is $15.00 but I don't know the cost of s/h or the price of the books. But you can contact them from their website at http://www.rootsweb.com/~args/ Thank you and good luck in your search! Kathy Stokes Hudson
