Hamrick's~ If the below message was part of a PUBLIC message to this list and not privately sent to Steven Bridges then it is a breach of etiquette on the list, if it was sent privately to Steven it should not of been sent back to the whole list. This the type of "discussion" which I do NOT allow on this list. It is counter productive nee destructive, and amounts to a public flame, and is not acceptable. Guess what? This is NOT a democracy, this is a list I started, which I maintain and I set the rules. Period. End of discussion. NO PUTDOWNS are ALLOWED to the list, about individuals. Private messages should remain private or sent to me for ajudication. This is NOT negotiable. Now we have lost one of our most knowledgable and helpful members and that is awful. I am very upset Steven Bridges has unsubscribed, he has always helped me and many many others, while encouraging folks to make their own discoveries. This list is for the cordial or at least civil discussion of family history. If you forgot the rules on flames they are at http://www.maui.net/~mauifun/email.htm Any questions????? Someone let me know if this was publicly sent or privately sent please. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding, this is NOT easy.
