Thanks Lane; If there is one thing I will do is take good care of the list , and as Rogers is my Grand Parents is like a special project. I have a lot of time and energy , its well divided up between 28 lists 2 geneaolgy societies , US Gen web and my web site. My life is taking care of my disabled wife and giving the Kids some time in between. My Older son is learning how to do web pages so he can help add things, I have several web site locations for overflow so I wont run out of room, but on the most part I feel we are a family and will do what I can to bring us together to help find data that is (not) on the net and get there . And as to the healing effort I am temporarily going to moderate those who want to send arguments to the list . I (will) not unsub any one , but I will limit their posting ability till I know they are not going to upset the list . I have heard from a few people who have just been sitting in the lurk mode who are getting their courage to begin posting . I also believe in free genealogy , we all help each other we are all winners. I will use the up most respect to every one ; but if some one just thinks they can post to a genealogy list and start a list war , you will only begin your own demise <G> Good manors and staying to the purpose of the list are the rules See http://www.rootweb.com look for AUP to see rootsweb rules Dan ----- Original Message ----- From: -Lane <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, June 17, 2000 4:42 AM Subject: [ROGERS] The New Listowner is Dan ... > Hello everyone! > > I am in Digest Mode only now so I receive my messages late ...... > > As the original list members know, I started this list years ago at Maiser > when the "Rogers Hunters" were having trouble contacting each other.
