Henry Just want to say that I think your comments about the rootsweb people are sick. Who are you to pass judgement on others this way? I do not know who you talked with but the Rootsweb people have given us all a tool that has no equal and cost a lot of money to maintain. What do you do to help Genealogy or anything else? how do you dress? Maybe we can be judgemental with you. I think you owe the list and Rootsweb an apology. Just one persons opinion.

Frankly I don't have a clue what is going on as the number of queries has continued to come in at a good rate. I am asking Horace Peele, the group "master" to look into the possibility that there might be a block somewhere that is keeping information from reaching all members. When Sue and I were in Richmond at the NGS conference I had a chat with the Rootsweb folks about allowing a site to be issued to an individual purporting to represent a county. They seemed indifferent to the questions and didn't seem to care. Their main interest was mostly in the donations and grants they receive from list owners. Strange bunch. Shapeless clothing, unkempt hair, but no love beads or funny pipes on strings around their necks. Deja vu .. the 60's with a difference. I came away with the impression that they really didn't care about genealogy or anything else except their own welfare. So much for Rootsweb. Keep hanging in there. We'll get to the "root" of this problem somehow. Henry -- Best Regards And Have A Good Day, Jesse M.
