I started this and just for the record I did NOT say that anyone should be reinstated - This is a genealogical information forum - not a complaint nor a free-form forum, and I pray this is the last on the matter. If the list owner wants to clamp the lid on me or anyone else so be it, it's her time, expertise and money.I can reach others to tap their knowledge banks by email or by going directly to their personal sites.Any of them who might have help for me have been bookmarked or added to my personal address book, already. Barring that a trip to the archives (all sites have everything posted on them archived forever) will quickly and easily bring up past information, and is a simple and thorough way to play "catch-up" Any comments for me about my opinion please use my email address, clearly posted above, do NOT send them to NCRoots.
