ENOUGH!!! I am only on two of the mentioned lists and have had over 45 emails about this. This has nothing to do with the two county lists I belong to. LISTOWNERS...PLEASE have them move this to a genealogy CHAT list. I have recently dropped other lists for the same reason. If I drop these as well, many people in my two list counties will miss 1)possible connections I always send them and 2)Lookups I do for people in one of those counties with reference materials I have here. If all of you are so worried about genealogy being researched correctly, then quit your bickering and voicing of opinions and get on with your research and let the rest of us work on ours instead of clogging our mailboxes with off topic subjects. Are you all at dead ends or something? It is MY OPINION that the "serous genealogist" has work and research to do. Not idle time for such chit chat and being involved in off topic threads. Now please drop it people. Get on with your research and your lives. Sharon Bowers Barnes
