Hi John, Since I'm new to this list I'll take it easy on you. All you had to do dummy is scan for what is important to you. If it is not important, leave it alone. This list is not your personal domain. Someone may have given years of hard work to post. And, a first post at that. Get out of the picture or unsubscribe. If you want to apologize that would be nice. Any one thinking that I'm off base, tell me about it. Mike Ps...I obviously don't have time for unsolicited opinions. Like I said I'm being nice. If you want to TALK you have my addy.

All I have to do is scan it? Are you serious? Scanning for a date or a name in that poorly formatted email is like looking for a diamond in a wagon full of cow paties. You scan it of you wish, but the rest of us expect a little more. I can not imagine the person that has such rage over a post as you have shown. Saying "This list is not your personal domain" is totally uncalled for. BTW, this list is not your personal domain either, is it now, or am I mistaken? Inviting members of this list to unsubscribe as you said "Get out of the picture or unsubscribe" is subversive to the list and show an arrogance that is seldom seen. Yes you are off base, rude and acting as a bully -- according to your post it is "your way" or the highway. Who are you to ask someone to unsubscribe? And you say you are "being nice" huh? New to the list you say, well I'm "old" to the list and have never experienced such ill conduct by anyone on this or any other genealogy list. I hope to never see this kind of conduct on this or any other list again. I have put you (Mikedurrence@aol.com) into my junk filter so I'll never see your hate filled email again--goes straight to delete. ------------------------------------------------------------------ John D.

Thanks Mike! I think sometimes we forget how it was when we were new to a list. Helpful suggestions are always welcome but putdowns could end a person's work. We all are at some point on our learning curve. And what might seem clear and or important to one isn't to another and visa versa. We need to get along if we expect the world to.
