Hello Listers, I have had several messages from members of the list and want to clarify several points and then hope we can get back to genealogy. 1 Several people have commented that they do not know if the list has a listowner... I have checked through my files and they are all people who have had emails from me as Listowner at one time or another. 2 Members asking how active a list we are .. if they are indeed members they would see the volume of emails this list propduces. 3 My computer has as I have said been down for two days and I have just had 5000 emails to wade through and I was saddened to see the bickering that had happened on the list. This list has had its moments but in the main is a good natured list. I hope it can now return to that. If you have questions concerns, have had unacceptable emails as some do get through email me direct , or the person direct , do not post to the list. In future I will unsusbcribe first and discuss it later. The list is for genealogy and genealogy related items I will not be continually dealing with tantrums and arguments. I am glad to support Rootsweb and help anyone with their search but to spend 5 hours resolving something that could have been avoided has consumed too much of my time. Any comments about this email please to me OFF LIST, I do not want this line continuing on the list. regards and good luck with your family searches Linda Listowner Sign up for a free service with Paypal to make all your internet payments and receive a $5-00 bonus for sign up. https://secure.paypal.com/refer/pal=boglelodge%40yahoo.com
