I seem to have worded my previous message ambiguously. I have recieved messages from volunteers in the past stating that they do not wish to continue transcribing for FreeBMD. In cases lkie this I have asked them to contact Admins with thier details. I have then removed them from my mailing list( nothing to do with inner workings of FreeBMD) therefore saving them the inconvienience of recieving unwanted messages which I send to the group, giving them updates. In hindsight, it may have been wise of me to keep my opinions to myself. Keith Simpson
