Shelia and list I feel that it would be a shame to lose the list mom.... but sometimes subject manner will stray a bit off -but I feel that if you take a step back -rather than react-proactive- I am sure all of the ones that are subscribed to the list know that there is going to be some off subject, but most are adults with good intentions.... Lets not appear to be controlling,rather than responsible good judgment-flexiaablity is a wonderful -your work is appreciated.... no road of dedication is easy- but just lighten up a abit-laugh more and enjoy- come on- there is a enough in the world to remind us to be kind to one another..... I thoroughly enjoy the list, even if I do not get information.... it is wonderful to see how the list helps one another... that is what is it about, and losing one is to one to many......

Hi Sheila I too feel that you should be our list administrator. All the times I have needed help or information, you have been there for me. You have done a tremendous job, on all the web sites you have created. PLEASE don't give up, because of one or two people. You were meant to do this. Please Stay On Ruth

Sheila - It is unfortunate that you are losing friends over this mailing list. Perhaps they are not really friends. I believe that you have been doing an exemplary job. All too often people get into subjects as a side issue and end up with threads that are so off topic that there is no resemblance to the original nature of the list. They need someone to bring them back and that is the job of the list administrator. Many times gentle reminders do not suffice because there is always someone who just wants to add their two cents worth or last thoughts. At times like this it is necessary to 'get tough'. You had to do that in this situation. Personally I admire the job that you and all list administrators do. I don't think I could do it myself. If I'm not mistaken you were central in getting this list up and running and I would hate to see you leave it because some were upset when they couldn't get the message the first time. Please stick around.

With all due respect for Bruce as a physician, I have to concur with G. Taylor that, although there may be "simple" answers in preventing some diseases, there are inherited diseases that, if known, could be prevented or at least, prepared for. Recently, a good friend, father-in-law to my daughter, discovered he had bowl cancer and that by the time it was discovered, it was too late. He has since learned that it has appeared in family members prior to his generation. Another acquaintance died because of a hole in his heart, a genetic inheritance, and with the problem now known, his twin brother was informed of the possibility that he too may have inherited the same defect. Insurance companies ask questions about diseases that may run in the family such as my wife's susceptibility to breast cancer because her mother had cancer and suffered through a radical mastectomy which, although she lived to be 90, left scars that impeded her physical performance the rest of her life, to the point of not being able to use her arm, which swelled to "Popeye" proportions with a fluid that could not be drained. I am sure that many can related similar stories where, had they known in advance of certain inheritable health problems, they could have either prevented or at least minimized the effect on themselves. My wife had a lump removed several years ago, which turned out to be benign, but she regularly goes for examinations including mammogram, eats the right food and takes a b" complex supplement in hopes to avoid cancer. At 54, she has so far been successful. Family medical history has played a part in the way she conducts her life. Enough said, except that family medical history should not be underrated in its contribution to present and future generations of family health.

As a practising family physician, I'd like to refute this often repeated myth. Family history can help your doctor to a very limited degree. However, no doctor in his or her right mind would stop looking at a particular diagnosis simply because there was no family history ofit. Diabetes is such an example; if someone came to me with any of the symptoms, I'd check it no matter what. On the other hand, I have hundreds of worried people coming to me yearly because "someone in my family had diabetess." The worry they endure and the costs that ensue aren't worth it. My advice to someone with a family history of diabetes is watch your weight, eat properly and exercise regularly, fasten your seat belt and don't smoke. My advice to someone without a family history of diabetes is watch your weight, eat properly and exercise regularly, fasten your seat belt and don't smoke. As a matter of fact, that's my advice to everyone. Two thirds of us are going to die of heart disease and one third of cancer. That figure is undisputed no matter what your genealogy. No matter what your history, you'll cut your risk of death considerably if you use your seatbelt. Dwelling on your genes simply takes the responsibility away from the individual. Let's get over this obsession with our health and get on with genealogy. Trace your family tree for the fun of it not for some supposed sick reason.
