I am so offended by your email...to assume that anyone who wanted to keep "on topic" is less than patriotic or not truly concerned about what is going on in this insane world we live in! Our List managers work very hard to maintain civility and order on these lists. If everyone who had an opinion used this list as a forum to voice those opinions, we would hardly have space to do our genealogy work. I love my country and grieve for those who lost loved ones. I also welcome the opportunity to get away from the horrors of 9/11/01 and use my genealogy work as a way to get away from the insanity around me!
