Hi all, I am very much at the new end I have been using BK for six years and only just found the list, but am glad I did. Mick.

I am now 86 years old . . . forgive me for injecting these thoughts into your software concerns. My mind was reverting to the early days of our favorite software, Brother's Keeper. I established this "BK" list quite a while ago and I checked back into the "BK Archives" and found this message: From: Tim Pierce < twp@rootsweb.com> Subject: Brother's Keeper list moving to RootsWeb Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 15:14:07 -0500 "Hi, folks -- Dick Rose has been the manager of a longstanding very active Brother's Keeper list at emcee.com. Dick has told us that he wants to move his list to RootsWeb, so we're going to merge the subscribers of his list with this one. This is just to warn you that there may be a lot of traffic on this list before long. :-) You might also notice that at Dick's request, we've changed the name of the list from BK5 to just BK. That way, the list won't automatically be obsolete after the next Brother's Keeper release. :-) If you've forgotten why you're on this list or want to unsubscribe, send mail to BK-L-request@rootsweb.com with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body. Happy hunting! -- Regards, Tim Pierce RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative system obfuscator and hack-of-all-trades" Looking back there were 118 messages in the first month of operation on Rootsweb, February, 1999. We still have 498 subscribers to the list. It has dropped some, but not too much. I would be eager to know if there are any of you who have remained faithful all these many years.
