Ask away. Volunteers who have a query regarding their Syndicate should in the first instance take it with the respective Co-ordinator. To discuss Syndicate Specific queries on a FreeBMD Mailing List may lead to confusion by volunteers in other Syndicates who work in a different way. I think it is also courtesy to raise any queries/concerns regarding a specific Syndicate direct with the Co-ordinator in the first instance prior to posting to one of the mailing lists. The mailing list Web Page at: http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/lists.html under heading FreeBMD-Admins-L specifically mentions "Answers that reflect practice within a particular syndicate or which reflect the opinion of a transcriber as to a better way of doing things are not allowed." I have just set up a task to add something similar under the heading FreeBMD-Discuss-L regarding discussion of Syndicate specific issues.
