Robert, Thanks for this great letter! If this is Lurking, we'll take more! NO!!! "Lurker" is not a bad word! This list is open to all our family including those who just wish to "Lurk" and be a part of everything. Many don't have any genealogy informtion to contribute, or are not in a position to do so at any given time, but want to keep in touch. All are welcome, and do not have to feel that they have to contribute genealogy, and are encouraged, if nothing else to send in a "Hello Cousins...I'm here!!" letter....if they wish. We would enjoy that very much! I joined the dead Bearse-List about a year and a half ago and "Lurked" for 6 months at a time. Now everybody is real sorry that I ever opened my big mouth!! The only time "Lurker" is used as a bad word on this list is when someone gets us P.O.'d!!!! And then when it happens, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what we are saying!! Thanks Again all, Cousin former Lurker turned Big Mouth --- Robert Kline <robertkline@telus.net> wrote: > "Jimmy O." wrote: > > > > Hi all! > > > > Since yesterday evening, (Saturday), four more > cousins > > have joined our new list!!!!!!!! > > > > Welcome!
