Margy, We need all of the interested people that we can have. I hope that you don't think that leaving the list is going to hurt Jim, or unless you have done a lot of lookups or answered a lot of questions, that it is going to hurt the list. It will only cut you off from potential information of value. Jim may be a little heavy handed and definitely more repetitive than necessary, but whether digest or individual emails, he is identified as the sender. You don't have to read his emails; you don't have to even read his archives. Or you can even write annoyed emails (and after a couple more, we can choose to not read your emails also). But it is not Jim or the list. It is entirely within your power - to respond, to accept, to ignore, or whatever. Relax. Genealogy is fun Larry << -----material.

We've already discussed it here at an all too long length already. Also he asks for volunteers to contribute to a pay service and that is against RootsWeb's list policies unless he has asked the staff at RootsWeb for permission first. What a waste of archive space. I'm over it and will never use the service because of this. Might even leave this list, it's been fun the last 4 years. Oh well, nothing stays the same. Margy Bousman >>

I don't mind if you delete every email I send, I do delete his emails. They are against the AUP of RootsWeb. The company that provides this and almost 30,000 other genealogy mail lists for free. What he is doing is wrong. It is against the basic premise of what RootsWeb is all about. Shall I stay silent as I watch a wrong being done? I think not. Genealogy is fun when the number one rule of the provider is not being broken. Margy Bousman List Admin for 33 lists at RootsWeb (Not NYOneida of course) But it is not Jim or the list.
