Hello Raymond, I'm sorry to hear about your mother. I lost my father earlier this year, so I know how hard these times are. About the message I posted, I admitted I made a mistake in posting without asking permission. It was only as oversight as I had asked permission of other list administrators. For that I apologise. But I will not take the abuse handed out by Robynne. There was no need to talk to me as she did on list. It would not have been appropriate language offlist either. There will be no need to unsubscribe me as I would not want to belong to a list that not only tolerated, but encouraged this kind of abuse. Goodbye. -----Original Message----- From: Raymond W Henderson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, 24 September 2001 11:52 PM To: Robynne; Trevor Rhodes Subject: Re: [A.G.R. ] Aus FHS Webmasters This is Raymond now, Trevor, I spoke with Robynne tonight and I personally expressed my anger at people joining a list plastering it with all the news about the new list, in your case web page with out any consideration to the list the members or the administrators feelings. If you had have had the manors to have made contact with me I would have given you the O.K. as in this case it would not have had any effect to the list. But please don't start a cat fight on my list with list members otherwise I will remove you from the list. At the moment Robynne is acting caretaker of the Aussie Gen Researchers list, so Robynne was acting on my behalf as I'm in Melbourne at this very moment taking care of my dear Mother who has been taken to hospital today with heart problems, as I trust you would understand that my family come first? Kindest regards, Raymond Henderson. List Administrator.

I'm sorry I jumped down your throat like that. Try emailing Raymond at [email protected] but he is away for a few days so may take a while to get back to you. While Raymond is away I am "caretaking" the list and I won't tolerate obtrusive messages like yours and I had every right to email you as I did.

I admit I should have asked, but as you aren't the List Administrator you had no right whatsoever to send an email to me complaining as you did. I sent the same message to other lists, all of which I asked permission from the Adminstrator. This list was just a case of making a mistake. Not knowing you, and not having your skills of knowing what others would and wouldn't do, I can only wonder what you would do if someone jumped on you everytime you made a mistake. I can only hope that this is a case of you having a bad day and you aren't normally so unthinking and quick to accuse. It might have been nicer to just ask me not to do it again in future. I would gladly oblige. I would also like to take this opportunity to apologise to the list and the real List Administrator for any inconvenience I may have caused. Kindest Regards Trevor Hi Trevor, this is not my list, Raymond is the Administrator here and it is him you should have checked with first. These lists are for researching and helping others by sharing information, there is a site for posting events and I think this would be more appropriate for your message. To subscribe go to [email protected] and type in subscribe. For more information about this list please visit the web page http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ausgenres/ I'm sure I speak for quite a few others as it gets very annoying when people join up the list and start advertising other lists. This list has an incredible amount of resources and knowledge available amongst it's members and we all love helping one another out and bashing down brick walls where we can. Your apology is accepted :-) Cheers, Robynne ----- Original Message ----- From: Trevor Rhodes To: Robynne ; [email protected] Sent: Monday, September 24, 2001 4:02 PM Subject: RE: [A.G.R. ] Aus FHS Webmasters Hello Robynne, You know, you're right.
