Hi folks, My first request is that you don't forward the same string of emails with a response. 40K of emails we've already seen a dozen times are unnecessary. Believe me, I can remember what they said! If there is a certain portion that applies to your response, copy and paste it. Secondly, I've gotten 3 emails saying I acted too hastily at removing John Sullivan from the list and one thanking me. Over the past few months, I have received several emails from him requesting the cemeteries be put online. In my opinion, my explanation was not good enough for him so he posted to the list in order to stir the pot. He's not on the list to defend himself, so I won't elaborate any further. Thirdly, (see below) from now on #1. There will be no more flaming on the list. If you disagree with someone, you'll have to email them privately. #2. Do not forward a private email to the list. Any suggestions for rules of conduct are welcome, but I can't guarantee they'll be added. Yes, my solution is to create a list of rules of conduct for the list and enforce them, but I assume since we are all ADULTS, we know what is proper for a list. It will be the weekend before I compile them and there probably be things I miss so they may be altered as time passes. I'll post any changes on the list and create a web page with the rules (in case anyone needs reminding). Someone suggested I should give a warning before I bump someone. I don't know that will stop anyone who determined to defend their point, but I'll try to do that from now on. I have always tried to allow my lists to be an open forum, allowing for slighly off topic discussions, but I guess now I have to establish some rules. When I finish, I will email them to the list and Mr. Sullivan and give him the choice of resubscribing. Then it will be up to me to be the EMAIL POST POLICE. Any opinions are welcome in response to this email. Thanks, Jane Hurd ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
