I am one of those who has been chastised for posting something that was deemed "off topic". But I agree with the others who have stated that they have benefited from the expertise of Lance and others. They have kept me up and running and able to do my genealogy research. I also agree that if those people who are so very, very helpful are kicked off the list the rest of us may as well go also. I might add that I have seen very little pertaining to genealogy posted on this list! Janet in Baton Rouge, LA
