>But who is this Robert1815 who's decided to spam us in consequence? Hi folks - I received several notes about Roberts messages, similar to the one above. I heard from Robert today. He had a problem with his computer and had to pull the plug in order to get it to stop sending. His mouse button was stuck. Let's all decide not to give him a hard time about it, OK? He has been a long-time subscriber to our list and he didn't intentionally spam us or do anything to annoy us. He's a great guy and is worried to have caused any problems for anyone. I hate to have bad feelings towards anyone on the list merely because of a small computer error. We all have computer problems at one time or another. We all make mistakes at one time or another. We have all had a bad day (week, month, year) every once in a while. As a group we need to be less critical and do more to pat one another on the back. Let's let Robert know that we understand how irksome those computer gremlins can be. And if it isn't computer gremlins, then it must be computer hamsters. You know, the ones who make all those odd grinding noises coming from the depths of the computer hardware. It is my opinion that the gremlins/hamsters have a wonderful time taunting us, giggling and snickering while we struggle to get things to work smoothly. As genealogists we are familiar with a similar mocking that comes from the long-dead ancestors as they laugh uproariously from the great-beyond while we dig through roll after roll of microfilm... I refuse to let my computer mock me. Be sure to tell yours that you are the boss Robert! And ignore the giggling of the gremlins. ;-) Now - I challenge one and all to post some well-worded, concise queries here. Let's see this thing work for us!
