From the List Admimistrator: There are basically 2 main rules. 1. That the messages are about Bowles genealogy, or the allied families of Bowles. 2. No flaming! If a person has a problem with something someone does or says on the Bowles list, then either contact that person privately, or contact me. If you feel that guidelines need to be published on this list, then it's the job of the list administrator - ME - to do so. As a member of the group, if there are any complaints about how it is run, then contact me, not the list. Everything that goes into this list, also goes into the rootsweb archives. Posts such as one member trying to tell the other members how to behave are not messages I want to have in the archives for people to be able to see forever and ever. :) This type of message can stir up things and hurt the feelings of others. Any future complaints, send them to the administrator, ME, not to the list, as I consider them close to flaming. Gracie List Adminstrator for the Bowles, Stover and Raleigh Co, WV Mailing Lists.
