Greetings! It is not often that I feel it necessary to intervene in the conversations of this community of researchers. However, it has been brought to my attention that a string of dialogue has taken a wrong turn and is far off the subject of geneology - bordering on personal insullt. This type of dialogue is not supported by Rootsweb and subsequently, this list. I am therefore requesting that it cease immediately. Please remember to keep all conversations shared with this mailing list on topic. If you wish to discuss anything off the subject of geneology research, please do this privately. If you find you are being harrassed by another person on your private email, you can report this directly to your ISP (internet provider service) as harrassment. Neither I or Rootsweb can control the actions of individuals off this list. If a subscribed member is repeatedly found to be off subject and is distubring the flow of the list, they will be removed and not permitted to resubscribe. I appreciate your cooperation and adherence to the policy of courtesy in all of your email correspondance. With regard, Kate McClellan, List Administrator

I was afraid I'd have to leave the forum to avoid having my mailbox stuffed with all that junk everyday. Natalie
