So, when we let her know, and I did, does she advise us when she has re-checked it? I don't know why Ethel left, but I sure miss her great pages and research.

Marti, OK, I will re-install Netscape to see if it works. I don't want to throw a monkey wrench in the works. I would just like to see what is happening. I have done many IRC's and always end up getting 52 emails from a girl named Cinnamon Toast who wants to make my fantasies come true. At my age a good BM and no more bad teeth is my fantasy.

Good grief, Dennis. That's pretty bad :-( Oh and btw, I got a call from Lynn York. He says he's waiting a reply from you on something he asked about? 2 things, actually. The Jospeh Franklin York first postmaster of York, I.T. in 1894 (memory here) and something else. Can't think of the other. Anyway, he's been waiting for a reply for quite some time. He even offered to send a copy of the postmaster document so you could correct the info on your site. ??

I have just tonight uploaded a new look to Carter County with many new links also, but still need to tweek it. Please stop by and have a look. Let me know if you find any problems with it. Thanks. Harold D. Massey St. Louis, MO [email protected]

Dennis - I am open to suggestion for another chat site. I have no spare time right now to try other sites. My preference is IRC, but so many of the actual visitors to our sites will not use it because it means installing and learning yet another software. I also use Explorer 6.0 but prefer Eudora over Outlook. I've tried it in several versions of Netscape without problems, but others with the same version do have problems. FWIW, In my IE settings I have "Java" (Sun) Use Java checked ( IE >Tools > Advance) and nothing else. Spinchat help page at http://spinchat.com/index offers a couple of solutions.

Marti, I have never seen this image that is on your new help page. I wish that you could find a new chat site. I use Explorer 6.0 and Outlook express which are the latest I have. If I cannot get this image I cannot join the chat. All I ever get is just the big metal looking plate with NO windows to put any information.

OKGenWeb chat opens at (9pm Oklahoma time) every Sat night. Bring your questions and we'll try to help. http://www.rootsweb.com/~okgenweb/helplinks/chat/spinchat.htm In response to several emails from others having problems joining the chat, I created a simple SPINCHAT HOW-TO page today with graphics. You will find the link at http://www.rootsweb.com/~okgenweb/helplinks/chat/chat.htm If you tried to join before without success, I hope you will try again. Some using Netscape Navigator aren't able to access the page. I have 4.7 and have no problem accessing the site. Marti

First Land run was Apr 22, 1889. Men had to be 21, which at that time was the legal age of majority for men. 18 for women or married, regardless of her age. Many men were unable to file their claim because they had not yet turned 21.

As I told you in private e-mail, when you do not close every <a with a closing </a>, it will not work in some web browsers. It is called invalid html. Of course it will work with MSIE, the world's sloppiest web browser. It will work with all kinds of html. When people dream up new rules, for a XXGenWeb or a county genweb, whatever, I really wish they would give a thought to ACCESSIBILITY FOR ALL. > Flu season is rampant here in Houston aka Armpit of America and I am home > with my 3 yr. old with it.

I went backto look at the source code and when I right clicked on the page to view source the graphic loaded. Go figure. (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie and Tracie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on!

It workd fine for me. HOWEVER the graphic at the top left didn't load. (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie and Tracie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on!

Well Said and I support your decision whole heartedly with regret to see you go. Best Wishes. Personally I have been deleting all the email that has been coming through here and just happened to read the last couple. I don't mind the rules and regulations needed to keep things in a consistent manner, but can we not communicate directly with those that need to bring their sites up to the standard instead of filling up our inbox with unnecessary banter? I guess it is one of the reasons I enjoy doing the cemetery stuff. I get very few complaints from my subject matter. Nuff said. I am back to lurking mode. Have a good day and enjoy this beautiful weather today. Richard Moberly Washington County CC Washington County Archivist Washington County Cemeteries (A query searchable Database) >>> kma <[email protected]> 04/10/02 11:55AM >>> > To The Respective Person In Charge: Many years ago and three server sites, when the OK/ITGenWeb was starting up, I was solicited, because of my "Chickasaw Historical Web Site", my work with the Chickasaw Nation and my contacts there, to create and host the Chickasaw IT web site as a part of the OK/ITGenWeb. Which I gladly did. At a later time when a person volunteered to check the sites for broken links, that I welcomed. But, then the rules started changing, this was required, and that, and so on and so on. Now we have "de-volved" to petty requirements of "Page Updated dates" and e-mail addresses on each and every page from photo-captions to old queries that never will be updated. On my principal site the "Chickasaw Historical" page I use a system on the main page of a sort of Table of Contents and with each new entry I flag it as "new" with a date. When still more items are added later, I remove the "new" tag. But that site belongs to me, and me alone. It seems here lately that my mail box is filled daily with debates, gripes, complaints, etc., from the OK-IT mail list. And I frankly am tired of it. It seems to me that we have lost site of the orginal concept of gathering a group of people on the web to help others with their family history. If we must all look just a like then make a fill in the blank page for all the counties. You have never ever heard much from me as my idea was to just do my part to help others who might stumble across my web sites. Nor, will you hear more from me again on this list as I now tender my resignation. You may assign the Chickasaw IT web site to someone else and remove me from this mail list. Please feel free to continue the page as is until you find another host. However, the new host will have to remove the Chickasaw Seal, as I had to obtain a special resolution from the Chickasaw Nation to use it. Respectfully Submitted, Kerry -- Kerry M.
