To Firebird: I read messages on line. All the messages had text in them that appeared to be cut and pasted from websites and all appeared to be unrelated to Los Angeles research. I also read these messages before the poster replied they were a computer glitch. >From the CALOSANG archives:.

They were long and filled with much information but nothing that related to Los Angeles. That was why my request was brief and to the point. I was not being rude. I have no personal research to do in Los Angeles. I'm only on this list to offer help to others with resources I have. Therefore I read all the messages to see what sort of help requesters are asking for. Quite often it's difficult because many requesters don't know how to write a simple query. When I responded back to the message below directly to Firebird I was called impolite, pendantic, sacastic and rude.

Since there's nothing in the body, how do you know they have no "relationshop to Los Angeles"? It's probably a computer glitch or some other problem Anne Rupert's having. It could happen to you as well. Would you like someone to do as you have and say: "What's with all these posts from this person Colleen Norby that have no relationship to Los Angeles?" ?? No? How about a little more patient and a little less rudeness? Or take the matter up OFFLIST with the list admin who would be the correct person to raise your question with. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
