In the last few weeks there have been a few messages on one or more lists that have nothing to do with Genealogy. I don't want to be a scrooge, but the purpose of these lists (ILBOND-L, ILCLAY-L, and ILWILL-L) is to discuss genealogy for Bond, Clay and Will counties in Illinois. If you have a problem with what someone does post to the list, please either reply to that person privately, or send me a message. I will contact those people privately if they are not staying on topic, and remove their ability to send messages, if necessary. Please don't send messages to the list to wish everyone greetings, but if you are sending a message on genealogy feel free to attach a brief greeting, if you'd like. Please reply to me privately at [email protected] if you have any comments about this memo, unless you feel that the entire 100+ people on each list would benefit from your note. Thank You and Happy Holidays, Ted Cash, listowner.
