This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BF.2ADIAE/5003.5 Message Board Post: You wrote: Thus far, my RR expert and I have been cordial, helpful, and attentive to her needs. I would cut way back on responding to her. First, you are not obligated to respond to posts. IF you can help a poster, do so. If I don't know a answer to a genealogy question, I don't HAVE to go find the answer. But even if a poster put a message on the Board asking me to do Board duties, I'd see if I can comply with the request and make NO reply. If I couldn't do the requested action, I'd probably write and explain why. But I agree, in the meantime, start deleting the chit-chat and the criticizing. You don't have to inform her beforehand. IF she asks why, write privately and just explain the boards have to kept free from chit-chat. You don't have to explain your actions, other than pointing out the Board Rules. Judy
