I have been trying to reach you on the subject of network protocol. This discussion of the Olympics and Hurricane Gordon has no place in this news group. Can you please restate the rules of acceptable discussion with the group? If two individuals want to discuss political issues, they should do it betweeen themselves, not to include the entire group. If we can't solve this problem, I will have to unsubscribe. I am interested in geneaology research, not sharing political opinions with the world. Thank you. Carolyn Owen.
