I'm a bit surprised, Mark, that as an owner of 2 Rootsweb lists, you haven't as yet learned Netiquette. Only one third of your post is message, the other two-thirds pompous(?) Spam or self promotion - 14 in total. Perhaps you HAD better unsubscibe yourself for a bit as punishment.

Jim, Thanks for coming to my rescue but I am John M Sutherland-Fisher, the "M" standing for Mark! I am a member of over 20 lists on Rootsweb and own 2 of them, Caithness and Jacobites. I contribute hundreds of messages a year to these lists and as I use my business computer and receive over 200 e-mails a day, I neither have the time nor can be bothered to delete my signature every time I happen to answer a Rootsweb list query. I have never been so ungraciously received in some 5 years of contributions to these lists but if the members of this list prefer, I will unsubscribe from it and refrain from sharing my 25 years of amateur and professional genealogy experience and knowledge with others.

I agree with your stand on unsnipped messages, but I think your method of delivery is O.T.T. (over the top) We've all been guilty at some stage, but to attack someone for a signature line that isn't his is a bit feral, don't you think? If you read the message, it's signed Mark but the signature line belongs to John M Sutherland-Fisher. Certainly it sounds a bit pompous in the context of a Genie List, but Mark was probably using someone else's business PC. So what about a little give and take, eh?
