A commercial message was posted on this List a few minutes ago. Please do not respond to it, as I have taken care of it. It came through the gateway from the Tompkins County Message Board. It has been removed from the Board already, and will be removed from the List Archives within a few hours. The person who sent the message is not even a subscriber to NYTOMPKI! It is unfortunate that this happened, but unless I review all the messages that come from the Board gateway, there is nothing I can do about it. I am not about to start moderating this List. Thank you all for your consideration in ignoring this. Cark Hommel List Administrator

Jackson 5138 Maxwell Rd. Farmington, NY 14425 At that time she also was offering `Marriage and Death Notices from Schuyler Co.
