Awiusdi and list members, I joined the Darnall/Darnell list for only one reason: to research my Darnall progenitors, and find verifiable evidence of who they were, where they came from, where they went and how I am connected with them and with others. I want gedcom files with notations, and information which will lead to further genealogical ivestigation. I am not interested in chat clubs, in being involved with anyone's personal belief systems or dogmas, in family reunions on-line, or in hearing about non-related family line. As far as I am concerned, this list is not living up to its potential for education and dissemination of information. I belong to several other lists which, as Doug Gordon commented, do research without a formal 'list owner' in evidence, and stay focused on the reason for the list [mainly genealogical questions, answers and discussion]. Isn't it time this list's membership focused on the reason we all came together in the first place? I hope this can be the case because I am still seeking information, and if I do not find the investigative atmosphere here, I will seek elsewhere. Betty Cowdery
