Sorry for the intrusion, but it is time once again to remind everyone about the purpose of this distribution list. >From time to time I am reminded that there are people who don't understand the purpose of this list -- It is solely for the purpose of inquiries and discussions directly related to the Scott surname. Other discussions will not be tolerated because if the focus is lost, this list becomes worthless. I trust the majority of subscribers understand this. I have seen a consistent growth of at least 100 more people joining the list than leave it each year. Currently, there are just under 800 subscribers worldwide. Please remember the narrow focus of this list when you post messages. I don't like sending reminders and I don't like kicking out blatant repeat offenders but, as long-time subcribers know, I will do it. Now, let's get back to finding our SCOTT ancestors!
