There were more than 400 hits on the Maxwell Family DNA Study during the first week, so a lot of listers are interested. Like anything new or unusual, there is always a lot of interest in the beginning and then the traffic will slow down. Imagine if someone found the 1790 census records in a warehouse......the bulletin board would be swamped! I agree, rudeness should stop....but how rude is,"take them off, let them have their own forum???" The normal flow of Maxwell queries has slowed, but that's because the listers have stopped posting the queries. There is plenty of space for all of us.
