Okay. Stop! I think this is going north on us. We, "family," as Paulette said we are family a while back, (and I agree) have been way too responsive to a message that should not have got a response in the first place. I should not have replied to it, but it felt good. I have seen message boards shut down when that happens, when it gets personal. RootsWeb depends on contributions. When was the last time you made one? They need to buy more unlimited space. Personally, I enjoy reading this stuff; but Rootsweb might not; for we are discussing personal feelings, here, not genealogy. The volunteers have been toughened to this sort of thing. We apperciate your sympathy, but send it off-line, please. No matter how ungrateful or impatient people get, we will ramain volunteers. The original message did not offend me or the other volunteers in the least. We are tough. I would hate to lose Joan of Impatience; but I would hate even more to lose the message board. Joan, you might by now be a little embarra**ed. I have been a lot more embara**ed, got even worse nicknames, and made a comeback. Let's see what you are made of. Come back. We need all the people we can get. If not, goodbye, and I hope you get some use for the marriage records I sent you today, assuming that is what Paulette and Bettye June were too busy to send. It was nice knowing y'all. I will surely be barred from the board.
