Hi all! Maybe I am getting old or just crotchety <g> What we have to keep stressing to people, is that they tell us what they "do" know. It helps a lot, when you are wracking your brain, trying to sort things out. I know that I have been guilty in the past, and hope that I don't do it in the future. One of the girls, on another list, just went through a lot of searching, to help a newbie to the list, and then found out that she (the newbie) had all of the books she had been searching in. What a waste of time and effort. Maybe, we need a sign up program that says "Who, What, When" What do you think, Arlan <g>?

or maybe ask before you search? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bonnie Weber" <bonnie.travel@sympatico.ca> To: <RIGENWEB-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, June 02, 2006 3:42 PM Subject: [RIGENWEB] When, Where, Who > Hi all! > Maybe I am getting old or just crotchety <g> > > What we have to keep stressing to people, is that they tell us what they > "do" know. > It helps a lot, when you are wracking your brain, trying to sort things > out. > > I know that I have been guilty in the past, and hope that I don't do it in > the future. > > One of the girls, on another list, just went through a lot of searching, > to help a newbie to the list, and then found out that she (the newbie) had > all of the books she had been searching in. > > What a waste of time and effort. > Maybe, we need a sign up program that says "Who, What, When" > > What do you think, Arlan <g>? > > > > > ==== RIGENWEB Mailing List ==== > The RI Archives http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ri/rifiles.htm > RIGenWeb Archives Search http://www.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/ri/risearch.html >
