I personally enjoyed the piece you sent in. In dealing with genealogy I have learned to think about others thoughts and feelings. I have sat through MANY,MANY mailings of others that had absolutely nothing to do with genealogy and even a few of a very personal nature and have not complained to the extent I have seen over this. Mr Payne expressed AN OPINION. He didn't commit a crime,when I reach the point that I cannot listen politely to others viewpoints as I was taught to do as a child, then it is time for me to move to a communist country where nobody is allowed to have opinions and thoughts. If we didn't listen to some of the seniors opinions and thoughts, alot of us would miss a great deal of the oral family history that they possess and that make genealogy interesting. Debra Carter
