Perhaps it would be wise to ask the listowner his/her opinion on the contents of the list in accordance with the rulings of Rootsweb and its original intent. Once upon a time, a few years back, I was taken off a list by the listowner because I mistakenly sent an answer (message) to the list instead of a fellow researcher who was making a request about her surnames. I goofed again when I sent an apology to the listowner on the list again--(I hit the wrong button so to speak!) for everyone to read but she refused to accept my apology and removed me from the list. Eventually, there were so many complaints about the listowner in support of me, that she was cancelled instead of the list ! The list has been reinstated with a new owner and I am back on it again.. That isn't the point, however. The point is that I enjoy doing research for others that pop up on the Saginaw list when I can. I would hate to see this list disappear. I would, almost, rather see two lists if necessary, instead. Then we can pick and choose. Thank you for letting me add my two cents... What do you think listowner??? maprout
