"I thought this list was for information. I for one look forward to seeing the answers in case I could use them. Why do I have to just read questions. Mart" Dear Mart, This list IS for information, and mostly what SgtGeorge is talking about is messages like this one which accomplish practically nothing, genealogically. The only reason I posted it back to the list is to help others understand the same. Normally, I would have replied to your letter off-list. "Please do this look-up for me", etc. can be better handled off the list, as it helps nobody but the writer himself. There are many others I am sure you can see, too. Hope this helps you understand.
