I have sat back and read all of the discussions about the "attitudes" and I am so sad that all of us dedicated genealogy enthusiasts have been put in a position where we feel we have to defend ourselves. What a terrible injustice has been done to us, who have been enjoying the exchange on this list. The information that is exchanged is so valuable, and it is a miracle that we now have so much at our fingertips, with this wonderful world of computers. Shame on those who would attempt to make us feel guilty about using this miracle, and get info the "easy" way. More power to those of us who are benefiting from this fabulous list. I think most of us have also done it the old fashioned, difficult way.I rejoice in this computer age, and absolutely refuse to let anyone intimidate me or make me feel guilty about benefiting from this list. Those of you who have defended yourselves so valiantly, have done it beautifully, but you should not have been put in the position of having to do that. For heavens' sake, please, those of you who are discontented with our exchange, leave us alone and let us enjoy ourselves and each other. If you don't share our joy, feel free to remove yourselves from the source of your displeasure, and let us exchange information in peace. Most of us are having a wonderful time, and I, for one, intend to keep enjoying myself, and will remain guilt free. Thank you, all you wonderful people on this list who have helped me with my family tree. Sincerely, Nan
