Hi again everyone, I'd like to thank all who have written to say hello and also those who've supported me during the recent "flaming" episode on this list. One subscriber wrote..."Wayne, Thanks for stepping in on this thread and attempting to put a stop to it. I do hope that you don't mind a suggestion though and perhaps in your capacity post it to the list for all to read. You see at one time I was a "NEWBIE" and did not have a clue as to how to post a request. It took time for me to get the hang of it and do it in a manner that would be simple, precise, subject clear and to the point. If I for one was new to this list, the thread that has been going on would do but one thing and that is to keep in the shadows. Someone just starting out can NOT be expected to follow all the formats that the long timers think should be followed." "I would also ask that you mention instead of talking negatively about a newbie, let them know, "In A Polite Manner" as to the correct way in posting. The original post was very clear to me and cannot possibly understand why it was not clear to others." "In advance thanks for your time and I do support you 100% and keep up the great job." This person made some excellent points. Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. -Wayne PS..... Please review the following RootsWeb Acceptable Use Policy (in part)........
