Cara This has to be an embittered soul writing to you in such a way? If not, then they have no understanding of either what you do, nor the hours you put in, nor the stupidity/non-thinking of person who chooses to write... Please, PLEASE ignore such and continue your exemplary "aid"; your "knowledge"; and your "experience" to the members of the list. (Hey, that's a thought! Perhaps you are too knowledgeable and the written word does not reflect your desire to aid???) Then again, there are times when you come across as a "dragon lady" but when I consider the situation, I quickly see why things appear in that way and why you might respond in such a way. (Moderation and "rules" might sometimes get in the way of progress, but normally you take the time to explain. This then gives us the opportunity to "chat" with you off-list.) I repeat again - ignore. The majority of members here, would (I am certain) be unhappy to loose your input. And should I, as an example happen to disagree with something you might comment on (unlikely because you normally only state "findings" and "fact"), then, be aware I feel free to state same. But this equally applies to another poster. And just by the by, as a DNA junkie, I belong to many lists and this one is a dream when I compare it to others (the moderators are both ferocious as are the posters!!! - man, it gets rough! Kind regards Gail Riddell (New Zealand) PS. The NZSG (New Zealand Society of Genealogists) has just (for its members only) given us access to the Irish Newspaper Archives from 1763 to current!!! O the dilemmas associated with such choices of searching??? My "olds" would be green with envy. Non kiwi membership is welcomed.
