Bettye, In a message dated 98-04-23 19:55:46 EDT, you write: << Please post your private msgs to the individual >> I am sorry that you have taken offense to the fact that someone congratulated me on my new granddaughter and was sorry that I am no longer county coordinator, BUT I am the Williamson County Listowner....rules are in place which have been observed by everyone on the list thus far. This is certainly not the first message that has come through the list of a "personal nature"....if you will, and unless it gets to the point of continous chit chat between individuals I do not see a problem. AND, you can be certain that if I do see a problem of any kind.....I will notify the person or persons involved. We are here to help each other and further our lines of research in Williamson County after all. If that means having a little of the "personal nature" in the emails coming through the list so that we can become familiar with each other I do not see that as a problem. Darlene Anderson Williamson Co TN Listowner
