I have read these apology replies, and I just wanted to say thank you Janice for the grace of your words, and I am thankful you personally will not drop out from this List-Serve. I also haven't had postings of my line, and I do feel it's because of, or just a gap called a location change of one of my family members from the family, among the opportunities taken at the times of history of epidemics, etc. Back so many years; the names were repeated over and over, generations down. One of my brothers and I hate the mutation even! hah! We are all related. I'm still thankful to see posts people have or run across with the PATE name involved, because I know it will be a connect for us, one to another. I couldn't look at all your obit posts, as I take care of family, and just don't have the time. I did take much time to hit my delete button, but I am happy to know you can make a list or post on genforum, so that if I can at times go peer into the hours of your generous time of sharing, it's still simple to do. God Bless you Janice. --- youdee20012001@yahoo.com wrote: From: Janice Marler <youdee20012001@yahoo.com> To: RootsWeb Pate <Pate@rootsweb.com> Subject: [PATE] Apology Date: Sun, 13 Jan 2013 16:27:59 -0800 (PST) The owner of this List-serve has asked me not to post any more obituaries. There are several reasons, but the most important reason is that it was annoying people and causing some to drop from the list. I humbly apologize for causing any problems here as this is a wonderful genealogical source. I do hope that those who dropped out can be persuaded to rejoin. I will continue to enjoy all the postings that are made. Little here has been posted concerning my line, but there is always hope that this may change. May everyone have a good year. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to PATE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
