Hi Everyone, As listowner, it is my responsibility to make sure that this list continues to provide folks with a place to share information. The recent messages concerning the way information was presented in a message (RE:Genealogy and jargon) have turned into potential "Chain Messages", with everyone sending in their opinion, but not much research help to anyone. These messages must STOP immediately. With over 600 people on the list, we would be overwhelmed with email if everyone posted their opinion. If anyone finds a message especially troublesome or out of line, the proper procedure is to contact me privately at postalq@grnco.net and let me handle the situation. As of this post, please do not send any further posts to the list concerning the subject. If you feel the need to vent or scream, then that is what I am here for. Just send it to me off the list at postalq@grnco.net . On a personal note, I had elective surgery this past Thursday and got out of hospital on Sunday. I will be off work until at least May 1st, so I will pretty much be here 24-7. I plan to use some of the time to update my website and pass on any new information I come across. Thanks for all being such a great bunch of family, friends & fellow researchers. Carol - listowner postalq@grnco.net --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
