While the main pupose of the list is genealogy, we didn't feel an occasional joke (especially if it's about genealogy) or a patriotic statement would hurt anyone, since it is so easy to delete anything one doesn't want to read. President Darrell The above was decided by the Society. The below is my personal comments: I certainly am not going to add to my duties the policing of a list. If that makes anyone think I'm not doing my job all you have to do is drop by next March (elections) and you are welcome to take my place. I have wasted more of my time reading complaints than it would have taken me to delete 50 unwanted messages. Just plain Darrell ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Darrell: Due to my computer being "hospitalized" for more than three weeks, my response to your final decision is long delayed -- for that I am sorry. I tip my hat to you for your decision.....your diplomacy....and your thoughts about your decision. You have probably earned a respite from your duties when election time arrives, but you have made it hard for anyone to ever want to replace you. This ol' Army fella salutes a Marine!!!
