This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SRB.2ACE/11992.1.1 Message Board Post: Every once in a while this board/mailing list, like any other, comes in contact with a person with a 'sour grapes' attitude. It is inevitable! Everyone is encouraged to post their items to the message board so it may help others and prevent multiple look up requests on the same person/family. In turn, it is automatically sent to the mailing list along with emails sent only to the list. This adds up for everyone who subscribes. Personally speaking; I am a webmaster who offers free look ups along with my own research, research I do for others, & regular emails. I get hundreds of emails daily. Still, I have yet to see a group such as this message board/mailing list that is so helpful and accessible. I truly believe it is worth a few extra emails! The best way not to get flooded with emails is to either subscribe to the digest version of the mailing list or not subscribe to the list at all. Instead, search the message boards often. This board/mailing list has been around for some time now. The majority of helpers & viewers are extremely happy with the way it is run. I'm sure one (or more) grouchy human being will not prevent us from continuing to be such a wonderful and productive group! No matter what you do or where you go, you can't make everyone happy all of the time. All you can do is do your best (and I don't think posting complaints is the best a person can do)!
