HI ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FIRST: A very happy Y2K to everyone, and good luck in your research this year. I can personally reflect on the fact that it's about 200 years ago that my ancestors settled in St. Clair, now Washington, St. Clair, and Clinton counties. SECOND: I would like to see all "flaming" stopped on my mail list immediately. If you have a "beef" with someone, write them a personal letter. Do NOT send it to this mail list. MY MAIL LIST IS FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY FAMILY RESEARCH ONLY. If you have a complaint about MY mail list, send that complaint to my personal address, [email protected] , or I can give you the address at ILGenWeb to write with your complaint. If they feel I am not handling the mail list properly, they will inform me. THIRD: I think we could find better use of the word TRIVIA/TRIVIAL. As far as I know it means: unimportant matters of little worth or importance insignificant FOURTH: I have DIGEST MODE set so you will receive your mail every twelve hours. Good luck in your research in the year 2000. Robert J. Middleton Robert J.
