Greetings to all. This note appeared on the TNMARION list. I am not sure if it was sent in error or by design. As the owner and controller of the TNMARION list, I will put in my two cents worth: We have new individuals that subscribe every day to the list. It is good to ask them, and others who might have missed the note before, about your contacts. This is OK as far as I am concerned. That is the purpose of the list, to send queries out and to receive information back. To communicate to others. Of course, sending out the same message two or three times a week is a bit much. Use a little common sence in this area. Mail lists are dynamic lists, which means that there is something happening on them all the time. It would be pretty boreing is we never read anything about others attempts to search their roots. So, feel free to post your questions, to ask for information, to say hello to someone that you have not noticed for awhile. This is YOUR list. Use it as you need to. No one will benefit if we don't use it. Lists that are not used are soon abandoned and become useless. Let's don't let this happen to ours.
