Hello Harold, So sorry you have received some abusive mails. Some people have no compassion and to ready to jump on others who make errors without knowing the facts. As you know I am nearly 89 and I am fortunate that I have not suffered any such slings and arrows and have marvelous neighbours and friends who support me in my disability, extreme shortage of breath which makes it difficult to walk other than a few paces, or do anything that requires energy. Anyway good luck to you Harold and do not lose any sleep over such people. They have no idea how many listers you have freely given your time to researching at the Leicester Burials Office, very often at your own expence and received no recompence.

HAROLD wrote: > I am truly sorry if I caused you any bother with my email but what worries > me most is the eleven emails I have received supporting me and telling me to > ignore the ill manners in your reply. There were no ill manners in my reply at all. Not everyone knows that putting something all in CAPS is deemed shouting and it's impossible to know who does and who does not know that. I merely forgot to put the smiley at the end. The same as not everyone knows (despite what they might like to think) the correct proceedure for checking out something suspicious. So I'd suggest to those 11 people that they want to remember when they didn't know everything there is to know about netiquette! :)) Although I'd venture to suggest that one of those 11 is not a subscriber to this list but is someone who is cyberstalking me and far from well. > I do not think that was your > intention neither was it my intention to use shouting in my message- - - - > when I saw what I had written it was just too much trouble to delete and > start again! Fair enough :)) > That's what happens when you get very old, you think people > will give you a bit of lee way but of course no one knows How old I am just > by reading my emails. Exactly. It's impossible to know from a mail who old someone is or whether they are disabled either - unless they are told. Age and/or disability simply are not issues unless or until they are made so. > I am pleased you are not deaf as I am profoundly deaf following my first > stroke (my wife just told me it is Saturday) and in some ways it is very > nice in my silent world. I'm sorry to learn that. I have partial hearing in one ear as a result of an ear infection I had when I was 12 and the idiot doctors tried to treat it with penicillin which doesn't work for me, despite being told that. That's the beauty of the internet. It doesn't matter if you can't hear, you can still do your research. Yes, it's Saturday. My autistic son has hardly stopped talking since he woke up :(( He's making up for the time he was asleep! :S He had two strokes when he was 9 months old and it's affected his left side. It's probably as well he was born left handed as his strokes haven't affected his speech. Irritating as his constant chatter is, it would have been very much worse if he'd had no speech. He would have been very frustrated at not being able to communicate with anyone and that could have lead to aggression. He's also epileptic. Each of his problems affects the others. > If you are a young whipper snapper please give thought to your replies for > anyone asking for a bit of help Well, I have 5 children, the eldest of whom is 35 and I didn't have my first child until I was 40. Young whippersnapper? I'd like to think so!! :)) No offence was intended, just a lack of smilies which I get told off for littering my mails with by some people :(( It's very hard to get tone and inflection in a mail and, of course, facial expressions are non existent. If you want to chat, can I suggest we take this off list since this has wandered waaaaay off topic! :)) Neither of us want the list admin jumping up and down on our heads, esp as I have a broken back ;))

Hi Harold, I read an interesting article that some academics suggest that Leicester - especially Leicester market, could have been the birthplace of our English language. Leicester market at the time was one of the few border towns where people of Western-Germanic origin would regularly communicate and trade the people of Scandinavian origin. It would be great if it were true. The point it wanted to make is that amazes me, after spending several hours yesterday transcribing two old wills, how some people - especially English-speaking genealogists get so attached to the vagaries of one particular time period. Then as soon as a new method of communication comes along, they try to apply set conventions and rules to that as well. One thing I love about the English language is its versatility and ability to adapt to change and modern life. As mentioned earlier it was derived from several sources, and the English we are speaking today is only around four hundred years old. Modern grammar is only about two hundred years old, and with the advent of email and SMS text messaging, English is developing and evolving in the hands of new generations. If she so chooses, my daughter can write a grammatically "correct" and perfectly structured letter in British English, or American English (She's currently studying at a University in USA) - but will still text me with; "R U OK, LUV U.X" - which I love. I have too many other things to think about than to get hung up on the grammar and writing conventions of previous centuries, including the 20th, especially when differences can cause misunderstandings. Finally, thanks once again for your help finding my ancestor's graves in Welford Rd Cemetery. Yours with respect, and best wishes, Mark in Cosby - a suburb of Blaby. (middle-aged Whipper-snapper) P.S., Sadly, the Cosby Victory Show has been cancelled (Canceled in American-English) this weekend, because the ground is waterlogged.

Even if you didn't know what it said, you knew that it was there. The software didn't know that you knew you'd put it there. It's software, it can only do what it's programmed to do.

HAROLD wrote: > What I really want to know is why did 'big brother' intercept it > and tell me it would not be released until they had checked it for > ADMINISTRIVIA? It wasn't "big brother". It's part of the Rootsweb software and it's designed to keep subscribers safe. You knew what the mail contained but the software didn't, so it needed human intervention. You had forwarded a mail that wasn't in English, therefore, it needed to be checked to ensure that it was OK, that there wasn't anything in it that shouldn't be.
