Thanks for the rules you have given us, Amelia Bogard. I believe some of us have deviated from another rule I would like to impose: So much of rootsweb seems to be taken up with nostalgia instead of genealogy. The older I get the more impatient I get--because there is so much undiscovered material about my ancestors, most of whom go back to Colonial times in this country. And they are Texans too. Besides AOL doesn't give me a lot of time to read and reread all the nostalgia. Our access numbers are shared by a University and so AOL is impatient too. Give us a break on rootsweb--please.
