I would like to stand on my soap box for a moment, if you don't mind too much. Recently I sent out a message that I had a list of definitions (of sorts) of diseases and occupations that show up on mortality scheds. etc.; that I would be glad to share with others. The response was very favorable and very large. Due to the large response I posted them to the list instead of the individuals (as I mentioned I would in the original posting). Well, to make a long story short I received the following e-mail (I have omitted the sender's name): " These charts were put out by dburrows2@juno.com. He put out the disease charts, occupations chart, war chart and glossary charts back in June, where were you. Please don't send all these charts to the lists to as more clutter, they have been out before, reposnd to each one individually who wants it." Sorry folks, but this really upset me. It was not my intention to upset anyone, offend anyone, bore anyone or generally piss anyone off. I thought the reason for these lists were to help each other in their search for whatever they are looking for. Whether they are family connections, geographical questions or whatever. For whatever reason I did not see these postings back in June - I don't even know which list the postings were on originally since I sent this to more than one list in which I subscribe to. Now that I have been put in my place, I will only post my queries and answer any queries in which I have information to contribute. I am truly contrite in my creating more clutter for anyone on these lists - past, present or future. Thanks for listening. I feel better now and I am finished. Kim Bell Thibodeaux KThibod908@aol.com
