As I am sure you expected...you are on Moderated Post until (or if) you can show that you can play nice with others. I am usually very lenient with the groups I admin...but I have no patience with trolls. And your post, as you well know, is classic trolling.

Perhaps those of a same mind would be willing to start a yahoo group for those who are more interested in debating then presenting information or sources. Oh yeah, another peeve, is those who don't change the subject line AND delete information that isn't pertinent. I prefer to have some empathy for those who receive via digest mode. One of the lessons learned while exploring the interweb was "Do not feed the trolls" or the topic of main interest will get de-railed indefinitely while endlessly discussing "their" pet peeve. _______________________________________ Orcadia Group Photo Album http://tinyurl.com/28bx9x ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ORCADIA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Drat! I hate when this happens! I owe Dennice a public apology. My reply to her post was Not supposed to go to the group. My sincere apology ma'am...that much was mental error on my part. She does have two valid points, about keeping subject lines updated as the topic in a string of posts mutates over time. It's somewhat less critical in a group like this than it is in the genealogy lists where other researchers use the subject line to search for data. But it's still good "best practice" on any list or group. The other point is trimming the text that you are not replying to from a post. Tricky that one, because if you trim too much or all of it...nobody knows what you are replying about. Yes...I am as guilty as anyone on both counts...let's all work on that...OK <G> As far as attacks on another poster's spelling, grammar, and reckless accusations of "trolling"...those go over the line. It doesn't matter who they are aimed at, or by whom. They will be dealt with. Discussion can lead to debate, which if everyone is not mature about it, can lead to argument. Spirited discussion is encouraged, lively debate is good, but letting it go past that, into argument, is bad...don't recall a time that this group has ever gone past the lively debate stage.
