First, you should have sent that directly to Marc (only) because this is going to end up being a long thread. Also, I apologize to the lists in advance, but I think this was unfair to post in front of everyone and needs to be cleared up in front of everyone. Second, I am enjoying genealogy so much and enjoy doing lookups for everyone. Sometimes people ask me to look up entire surnames, but I don't question their motives. I would like to post to lists more often but don't because of remarks from people like you. I would like to vouch for Marc. He is a nice guy and we have swapped info "free of charge". I would tell you more about Marc and what he really does, but that isn't my place to discuss his personal business. You should have asked him yourself instead of causing a scene of the lists. Many people post to multiple lists. Some do it on a daily basis. I do genealogy every day, work with others on their genealogy, and am getting very good at it. My relatives send me money towards the research (I am a single mom of 5, not that its any of your business either) and others have sent me money to defray costs so I guess that makes me a professional "paid" genealogist!!! Gosh, now I have something to put on my job resume!!! Again, apologies to the lists and list owners. I try not to voice my opinion much, but I know this person and was outraged to find this in my email.
