Dear Cara, As far as I am concerned your efforts are very much appreciated. Kind regards Maureen

Cara, I find your 'mass' postings to be helpful and interesting, and often give me ideas that lead to other links. Your focus and intent is obviously to 'dig up' whatever genealogical clues you can find, and you share with the list. You have helped me in the past off list as well. You are a top administrator in that you let the list handle itself, but reel it in when things start to get off track or inappropriate. This is necessary in order to stop flaming or negativity, and you don't let it get out of hand. Personally, I wouldn't want your job as I have been on many lists where the administrator gets lots of off-list posts that are attacking. Keep in mind Cara, that some people's intent is not to be constructive, it is to be destructive to both yourself and to the list. It is easy for us to say 'ignore them', when comments can be cutting. If someone would treat you that way, one has to ask what their true intention is. I would suggest that it is an effort to destroy the list. I have seen it happen several times, and the attacks don't stop until they get the satisfaction of seeing people leave. Then the attacker seems to disappear from the list. Don't let him/her beat you. It's not about you, it's about the attackers need for power. Ban them from the list if they think it is so bad, and their power is diminished.

Cara: I've only been on the list a few months, and find your comments, and those of others, most helpful. You seem to go out of your way to provide additional information, helpful links, useful sites, etc., based on what must be years of local research and knowledge. It is very much appreciated! Thank you.
