Thank you, Mike, for stepping up and keeping my reputation "untarnished" by the self-proclaimed tirade of Lindy. And, I apologize to Lindy for not doing my own research to figure out how to use the site she shared. I have found that those familiar enough with a site to share it on a list are usually willing to shorten the learning curve for others by giving a few tips about its use. My email address is admittedly a silly one, selected by me 17 years ago when I first began using email. I didn't have a clue what I was doing. I have no desire to keep my identity hidden. I just didn't think it was that important when using the various lists I'm on, and I've never been challenged about it before. But, for those who care, my full signature is below.

Hi Janet: I was up late last night because our local Saskatchewan football team (the CFL equivalent of the NFL Green Bay Packers) lost Canada's equivalent of the Super Bowl last night (www.tsn.ca) No excuse for a tantrum, however... Having already digressed, I objected to your inquiry on this because you got it from another group i.e. Polish_Genius, an ongoing dialogue over recent days on that forum. You then queried on the POLAND group about Polish historical maps using my name... Fair enough but your inquiry had no identification of who you are... Any name would have sufficed. If you can call me by my first name, then I should do the same to you.. I was being facetious when I linked to my own site: http://www.lindykasperski.com/links.php as I had just uploaded some of the Map links there because of the Polish_Genius thread. Thank you, Janet for introducing yourself. I can only do the same (btw, last I checked, I was a Male!) Lindy Kasperski 15 Irvin Crescent Regina, SK.

Regretfully, it is not uptodate but my interest in Polish genealogy should be evident, especially if you click on the Family Genealogy drop-down menu -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: November-29-10 7:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [POLAND] Polish historical maps - clarification Thank you, Mike, for stepping up and keeping my reputation "untarnished" by the self-proclaimed tirade of Lindy.
