While I wholeheartedly agree that this list needs to stay on topics dealing with genealogy, if anyone read all of Carroll's post they would have seen that he explained the reason for the post and apologized in advance if anyone thought it was off topic, asking them to feel free to delete. I might suggest that in the future if there are posts of questionable relationship to genealogy topics, this be explained at the beginning of the post instead of hidden in the post somewhere where it's unlikely to be readily seen. ~Maudeen Maudeen@bainbridge.net Book Reviewer -www.Amazon.com Under the Covers http://www.silcom.com/~manatee/utc.html Genealogy surnames: WEATHERLY, INMAN, NEELING, CAMERON, SWIFT, CHASE, HAUSER, ARNEY, ROARK, BLAIR, CRAWFORD, PURCELL, HAZLETT, HAISCH, WIPF, MILLIGAN, Locations: Guilford Co, NC, Owen Co., IN, Marshall Co., IA, Medina Co., OH, Kossuth Co., IA, Cecil Co., MD, Chester CO., PA Washington Co., PA, Clayton Co., IA, Warren Co., NJ, Luzerne Co., PA -----Original Message----- From: George Lowe <gblowe@foxinternet.net> To: PSRoots-L@rootsweb.com <PSRoots-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Thursday, January 28, 1999 11:38 PM Subject: Re: FAM HIST: TACT NEEDED > >I second the opinion.
