Hello Everyone, First I have to say that I'm sorry that I didn't catch the emails last night or this morning before things went a little too far - but I think I'm entitled to a break every once in a while. 2nd - I sent an email to Annette OFF LIST telling her that she sent her note to the list and that I was sure it was a mistake. It was. 3rd - I have this list set to "reply to list", this is because I feel that anyone replying to genealogical information that is posted from someone will someday benefit someone else - so I want it out in the open and on the list. Most of us are pretty email savvy and know how to copy and paste addresses if you want to reply just to the poster. 4th - This is a family friendly list. I expect all of us to treat each other as we would want to be treated - with respect. I do not and will not tolerate berating of others on this list. Doing so will cause you to be moderated and then removed from the list. Be open to what you are reading - realize that people make mistakes, there isn't one person among us who doesn t. 5th - If you have a problem with the list - contact me OFF LIST. Sending your grievance to the list unsolicited just causes more problems and wasted space. You can use my private email extracted from above or nydelawa-admin@rootsweb.com which is preferred. 6th - Please remember to delete the previous emails when replying especially if they do not pertain to anything - as this also uses a lot of space and is a nightmare for those of us who get digest mail. 7th - Please sign your emails either with your name, or nickname. This way we all get to know each other and come to know who is researching different surnames. That is all - now everyone play nice! Rene' NYDelaware List Administrator
