Okay.... Now hear me! If you can't be nice, take your toys home and leave the list alone! Here's the deal. I'm a fairly easy-going admin, but here are the rules. This list has always been civil. It will remain civil, from this point forward. If you have any problems with that, write to me individually and not on the list. It takes up too much space in the archives and no one wants to read that drivel. I'm not sure how this conversation got out of hand and I don't care. I was going to write to each person who participated in the conversation, but feel this is a better way to have all subscribers understand my commitment to a happy, successful list. Suffice it to say, that I will not tolerate any more unkindness, irresponsible behavior, OR rude comments to, about or from subscribers on this list. If you can't be nice, you won't be on this list. Period. This list is for discussion of genealogy, history, language, culture, family, etc. If you can't discuss these things in a genuinely pleasant and amicable manner, I will take steps to remove you. That's the benefit of being the list admin. I don't drop the ax often, but it is severe when it happens. So, this conversation is done, complete, zip, over. The next person to say one more thing in a negative tone or continue this discussion on the list in any way, shape or form, will be placed on the reject list! Period. Got a complaint, comment, wish, hope or dream, write me off the list. But if it can't be resolved amicably, you then become history on this list. Got it? Amen. Over and out! Denise A.
