> Why are we having so many problems? Every state organization is > filled with different personalities, differing points of view, and so > on. Why are we so unhappy? I am only going to take a guess. I do not believe that this is the only reason, nor the entire answer. I do feel though that it is an important part. There is a certain level of tolerance that many people are willing to accept. We do that every day of our lives. We compromise, or we settle. But why do most of us do that? Because usually we know that there is an end to the issue at some point. That we can endure what is going on knowing that soon there will be change. Our lives are based on change and say in that change. From organizations we join, to Government Representatives. I know personally I'll put up and endure much more than I probably should, by knowing the simple fact that I'll have a chance and a say to change things. We thrive and need such changes in authority and policy so that we can continue on and accept some of those things we can't quite agree with. It doesn't even matter if our vote was for the losing side. We had our chance, and we'll continue to endure until the next time we have the chance. And besides, how wrong can the majority be in the end? We may not agree, but we all respect the fact we lost to a majority of others and end up at least accepting, if grudgingly, the winning's side policies. That's how I view life, and I'm pretty sure that's not far off from most. Take that away from me or back me into a corner, I'm liable to strike back just like a cornered cat.

I don't' know. I had 384 messages today. I try to fight junk as the best I can and I suppose she does also. Tried some of the programs to remove junk but RW were not happy campers over that one. Could be a combination of it all. The galina is a list that we can chat and those that have problems don't have to be on it or can just hit delete not fearing someone has forgotten to change the subject line again. I know Teri is not alone in wanting this list to be business and the other one for chats. I am on both.

I am one of the younger ones you refer to, yet I'm still not all that young. I work in a job where I'm dealing mostly with customers in the 10-30 year range. Some of these could be my kids. One thing I have learnt in life is that after 25 or so, the world stops being ours. We can continue to fight and insist on our ideals and goals, or we can learn to adapt to the generation that now inherits the earth. I am agreeing with Gloria says in principle. I don't let my customers swear in the store. They are to treat others with respect, or get tossed out. Yet at the same time I have had to adapt my standards in many other areas, in order to serve the clientele I wish to serve. I guess what I am saying is, treat others with the highest level of respect, but stop trying to fight the changing times, and don't call someone down because they want change or don't agree with the 'norm'. We can continue to demand obedience and become obsolete, or we can grow with the era around us. For example: Look at how much Copyright Laws have changed since GAGenWeb began. Back then much of what was done was current and correct. Now there are many outdated rules and practices still being enforced. Let's not get bogged down with what was right, and let's start accepting what is now right. And yes that means yet again next year changing yet again to stay current with public standards. By doing so, we can continue to be a viable and vibrant organization. Now, I as well will get off the soapbox.

Gloria, I would like to address a couple of issues you point out in this note to Wyndell. Apparently you have had some grievance with someone who works with the GAGenWeb Archives Project but please don't lump everyone into the same mold. You said - >The Archives and the GAGenWeb Project both >have a place but having a movement going on all the time against the CCs who >have material on their pages has to stop. I have not been here forever and I apparently have missed the "movement" against CC's who have material on their pages. I have never been approached by anyone about moving material from my sites to the archives or not placing material on my sites. Since I have "woken up" and started paying more attention to the controversies within GAGenWeb, I have seen more controversy from CC's, etc.. against the archives instead of the other way around. You said - >And when an Archivist has a County >site they are keeping someone from working that site...as with what they do >they don't have time to devote to the site and they don't have any >intentions of placing anything there on that site. I beg to differ with you here. I have gone and looked at all county sites in Georgia in the last couple of months and I have not found it to be a "rule" that if a person is also an "archivist" that they don't have anything on their county sites. There are alot of counties in Georgia that don't have anything on their sites, but they aren't CC'd by archives people. I would ask that you please go look at my Fayette county site and at the archives TOC's, which, by the way are all linked from my front page but you will find that there is alot of content in both places and the majority of it has been done by me because I took over a long neglected county site and there have not been alot of Fayette researchers stepping up to donate materials to the county site or the archives until recently. I "work my site" rather frequently, there are only around 50 pages that are actually part of the county site now and I do intend to add more. What we do for the archives is actually not that time consuming and is becoming less so because of our new submittal forms. The only "time consuming" things I do for the archives is when I am actually transcribing records and I transcribe records for both projects. I hope you will take the time to look at my whole website @ http://www.rootsweb.com/~gafayett/index.html and then you will see that your statement above concerning my intentions is not accurate. Respectfully, Linda Blum-Barton -----Original Message----- From: John Holback [mailto:john2936@comcast.net] Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2003 1:31 PM To: GAGEN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [GAGEN] Ok, now I am mad Wyndell, I know you are not taking sides and you would not do that..when I am in the wrong you would and do speak out. The same for others when they are on the wrong track. But thank you for defending CCs rights to have material on the county pages. And as you say if we don't place material there why have a county site. Give it to someone who will place material at the county level and become a transcriber/abstractor for the Archives project full time. There are a lot of people out here who will take a county site and turn it around. The Archives and the GAGenWeb Project both have a place but having a movement going on all the time against the CCs who have material on their pages has to stop. And when an Archivist has a County site they are keeping someone from working that site...as with what they do they don't have time to devote to the site and they don't have any intentions of placing anything there on that site. Let the visitors have more rather than less...When I first came out here on the WWW years ago there were so many sites and all they had was a lot of links to links and to more links..when I go to a page I want to find more than links I want to have material there without jumping to another site. That is just my way of looking at things. I do not belong to the GA Archives project I belong to the GAGenWeb Project..and that too is how I see it. In the event of my demise there are members of my own family who live in the counties which I host who will take them over...as by that time they will be retired too. So I am not afraid of placing material at the county level. The only time that I was is when there was talk about anything there being the property of the GAGenWeb Project. My husband is also the Co Host and is there to keep those websites going and would do just that as long as he was around this old world. So no one has to be afraid that Ben Hill or Irwin counties are going anywhere...and the pages of records will continue to grow. There were some unforseen major changes in my life within the last few years including my fathers illness and then his death and a major move to another city. That kept me busy but I am not now and I am back working to build the pages beyond what they are. I don't care if anyone wants to place material in the archives...at some point I most likely will also but I do not want an empty shell of a website for people to visit. That is not the goal of the GAGenWeb County Coordinators and SC when the project was young. And hopefully it will not go in that direction but there are signs of it going in that direction by all the attacks from the Archivist against CCs over the last few years......Gloria ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wyndell Taylor" <gagenie@bellsouth.net> To: <GAGEN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2003 1:04 PM Subject: Re: [GAGEN] Ok, now I am mad > At 11:46 AM 4/9/03 -0400, you wrote: > >provided other material which meets the county requirements...That is what I > >am saying....but there are those of us who plan to keep the material at the > >county website and do not intend to change from that. > > Not sure where and why the difficulties developed between the county sites > and the archives, but I think they both have a place in this project. > > I developed a lot of data for Cherokee County while I was the cc there.

I agree ED. I just had a CC ask that this list be business only since all the traffic caused her email to bounce. Could we please keep this list as business and the galina list for the chatting as Mr. Stowell has instructed us.

The leadership thinks "it would be appropriate that I explain and make clarification on the genweb-l list that I was Self-moderating." I am not a member of the genweb-l list, but I will do it here. I did not feel I had done anything wrong but was willing to cooperate since Tim was not available. I have been told it is not necessary at this point. The rule: "it is not appropriate to post others links, copies of their pages, etc. without their permission, or, approved as appropriate by SC or ASC." Donna Parrish

In other words, when the cat (Tim) is away, the mice (US!) will play. Now, where did I hide that hunk of cheese?
