Hi Bratcher Researchers, I don't know how many of you feel the same as I do about this group. Previously when I posted to this group, the only response I received was how to format the SUBJECT line and I've observed the same with others sending posts. Forget the content...get the format correct. Since I moderate three surname lists, one with 50 and the other two with 100 plus members, I go out of my way not to impede communications on each of the lists. My personal welcome message has guidelines for entering a meaningful subject line; however, I don't jump on any anyone for not formatting it in accordance with the guidelines. All three of my lists have moderate to heavy traffic; however, in comparison, this list has a trickle of posts being sent. Perhaps, the reason for low activity is because many are concerned that they may not get the SUBJECT line formatted correctly. Now to my point on the above, if I receive anymore instructions on how to format a SUBJECT line, I shall consider unsubscribing from this list. By the way, for researchers working the family below, I'm in a group of eight researching this family line. Anyone is welcome to join our research effort and freely participate in the exchange of information. I have considerable information on the following BRATCHER family members except for Betsy, Obedience, Tempy, Isaac and Mary; and, I will share same and hopefully receive data in return to fill the gaps in my database.
