If he has something to say he should post it directly himself. However, on this list and other RootsWeb genealogy lists, what we generally try to do is post messages--queries and information, about Salem County ancestors and history. This doesn't include "inspirational" messages or Internet hoaxes and chain letters that we have been instructed to forward to "everyone we know." << AND WE > ARE NOT HISTORIANS AND DO NOT VERYIFY AS FACT > EVERYTHING WE POST>> Verifying as fact and posting chain letter Internet hoaxes are two completely different matters, IMHO, but you and I would still disagree on this. We SHOULD attempt to verify what we post and pass on before doing so--or we should add a disclaimer that the information has NOT been verified. <<...YOU DESERVE NO > THANKS.>> And I ask for none--merely setting the record straight. Some folks are WAY too touchy -- we are all wrong from time to time and setting the record straight is important in these matters as it is in recording and studying our family history. This is the last I'll say on the subject. Joan
