Over the years, the Powys List has earned an enviable reputation for the courtesy, tolerance, and helpfulness of its members. Only very occasionally has the Powys List failed to live up to this high standard. The inclusion of critical personal comments in list messages is never acceptable and never justified. Complaints about the behaviour of individuals should be addressed directly to the List Adminstrator at [email protected] and NOT to the list. It would be very sad if we were to enter the Christmas period in anything other than a spirit of mutual tolerance, generosity, and good humour. Please let's move on and revert to our normal generous and good humoured approach towards our common interest in family and local history, which gives us all so much joy. Kindest regards to all Powys List members, John -------------------- John Ball, Brecon, Mid-Wales, UK E-mail: [email protected] Joint Administrator - Powys (& BRE/MGY/RAD) RootsWeb mailing lists
