I've noted for a long period of time, with Email in general to a limited extend, but especially on this mailing list - The number of people who don't sign their messages, leaving us to guess from their Email address, what their name might be. Is this poor etiquette, a lowering of standards, or am I just being old-fashioned (or very English!). Regards - John Markham South Wales U.K.

Hello John,..... and all my Cousins Perhaps the answer to your question is "all of the above" but your point is well taken , I will be more careful to sign all correspondence, and I, like all of you read these e-mails to hear from my extended family , I read each one carefully trying to find not only what your name is ,but where you live, and what you do, I really want to know because we are an interesting lot. I am your cousin ( several times removed)... Columbus C. Marcum Wayne , west Virginia. USA.
