Hello List, Let us hope that the discussion that ensued has had the required result. I certainly DO NOT have to except that sort of content, and indeed WILL NOT. Fortunately we ALL have that choice; down to the pressing of a few keys. It will be sad to have to resort to that. John Eaton Socon

I cannot believe the whining and negativity that has been the response to the person who accidentally sent the joke. My first impression was that it was in fact an accident. Did anyone think to look at the address list of whom the joke was sent? The Richardson list administrator if anyone should have immediately realized it was an accident. Anytime something happens where there is a list response, I get all the emails of these responses which is much more annoying than the joke itself. Maybe the "reactors" should have read it thoroughly to begin with to see that this person sent it to an address list that wasn't even part of the Richardson list. I think everyone that responded so coldly to the person who accidentally sent the joke should put out an apology. Obviously nobody researched and did the homework before expressing their opinions. Think before you write.

I've been looking for information on my ggf Richard Richardson, born about 1844 in Canada, and who married Charlotte Gedge in 1869 in Pendleton, KY -- I've gotten some much-appreciated information on the Gedge side; however, nothing on Richardson's... my namesake. I have a clue that Richard's parents were born in Scotland. Anybody with information, please contact me! Thanks, Richard Tennesen, Capitola, CA
