    3. One last word to my kind of people. I have now found new homes for all of the INGenWeb pages I have been responsible for. I must therefore, reluctantly, say goodbye as a County Coordinator for INGenWeb. Do not allow yourselves to become upset and frustrated by some of the messages that you see coming through to you that are forwarded from USGENWEB-ALL. [Like the ones from Mr. Spider (I'm not sure that is the correct name.) that came through earlier today. Some folks are simply going to whine and gripe their way through life no matter what the rest of us do. Life is too short for that kind of stuff. Paint your delete key red and use it often. [And don't worry about Betty forwarding a big bunch of similar messages to you; it ain't gonna happen.] The National Coordinator, National Advisory Board, State Coordinators, County Coordinators, Special Project Coordinators, and all those other people who are involved in the USGENWEB project on a daily basis providing high quality FREE data for the entire world are doing so as a labor of love. Be that as it may, in any organization 1%, sometimes more, of the persons involved are right all the time, even if they are totally wrong most of the time. They are basically trying to feather their own nest, let everyone know they know it all (fortunately we have never had that type of person involved, to my knowledge, with the INGenWeb project), and let the rest of us know we are dumber than a box of rocks. I'll take all the boxes of rocks I can get any day rather than someone who is always right and whining and gripping continually letting us know why they are right and why they are always going to be right, in their minds at least. So keep smiling; be happy; and keep up the good work! A little Hoosier Hospitality never hurt anyone. You folks who live outside Indiana and are working with the INGenweb project have got to have some of that "Hoosier Hospitality" in your blood, just because of your involvement with INGenWeb. Goodbye. [He says as he rides off into the sunset with his herd of pack mules loaded with 37 years of history and genealogy research in Indiana. Anyone with that much stuff should at least offer an occasional helping hand. You got it--just let me know. I don't however work as fast as I used to.] Sam Cline Morgan County Council ~ http://www.scican.net/government/mc-gov/councilm.html Morgan County Indiana Historian - IHB/IHS ~ http://www2.ihs1830.org/ihs1830/cohist.htm Indiana Genealogical Society ~ http://www.indgensoc.org/ HoosierWeb ~ http://www.hoosierweb.org The candle light will always be gleaming through the sycamores.
