You and Jan should follow your own advice. You two are the ones who posted to the whole list. This is true because I hit the reply button and if you two had not sent to the whole list then my reply would not have been sent to the whole list. Same thing goes no one ask you or Jan to stick your noses in. If you do not want people to respond to the list then don't post your nasty replies to the list. ----- Original Message ----- From: <JULIAFWOOD@aol.com> To: <FRENCH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2000 12:16 PM Subject: Re: [FRENCH-L] Re: Lafford (1753 NJ-1834 NC) > Jeff, > With all due respect, I believe that you should bone up on your netiquette. > > In the first place, this is a public forum by subscription. > > In the second place, Jan was only trying to smooth things over. > > In the third place, all messages go to the over 200 members of this list, so > anything you say is directed to all of them, and Jan's message went to all of > them as did mine.

What happened to civility? This is really getting out of hand. I have been getting messages from this list for months hoping that one day I'll come across someone who is researching the same French family that I belong to. Now I'm not so sure this is such a good idea.
