(: Soc.genealogy.methods and the gatewayed GENMTD-L mailing list have been moderated since the day they were created a more than a decade ago. Alicia Towster (now retired) and I have moderated the group since that time. If you doubt I'm the moderator, contemplate how this text was added to your post. (: Also, ponder why all the Message-IDs on Methods posts are from Linkpendium ... To dispel any remaining mystery, I am Dr. Brian Leverich, USENETter since 1983, co-founder of RootsWeb and Linkpendium, and owner/operator of one of USENET's busiest text-only hubs.
