Isn't it a shame. A Texan, apparently without enough integrity or ethics to adhere to Rootsweb's simple AUP wrote: >Hi list, >[snip] Send $5.00 and a self addressed stamped envelope.

There are special lists on Rootsweb specifically for the use of people to get the word out about their genealogical services for hire or items they have for sale. No matter how inexpensive the price appears or how much you might want or need a service, it's wise to specifically avoid those like the above Michael who exhibit such low levels of integrity. If their integrity is so low that they violate such basic rules, can you really depend on their research for you? I hope you immediately removed Michael from list membership and warn other listowners, Cathy. He's making the rounds. Diane
