It seems I have "leaped before looking..." and so must first apologize for my error. In looking back over the archives I have found that the discussions really have been about the area and various topics relating to it. Please overlook my earlier missal and feel free to continue with the historical use of this list. The real constraint would be that of preventing "flaming" and otherwise angry responses to one another. Thanks for allowing an old codger to make the occasional mistake even if he should know how to avoid doing so.

I was under the impression that this was an Orkney oriented list. I thought there were other genealogy-limited lists for those who feel the need for that constraint. - Rob Sutherland

Jim, your apology is accepted with a warm heart. There are two lists on Orkney, and it's easy to mix them up.
