John, thank you for explaining that to me. But if I choose to post to more than one list, how can I know how many people are getting duplicate posts. I have been blasted and ridiculed for an honest effort to help about as much as I can stand. I will post the Obits, but as soon as I can find out how, I will probably be posting them in some other form rather than to the lists I have subscribed to. This has been very, very discouraging to me. I didn't know there were so many rude people in the genealogy community. Thank you for your comments, they were very helpful. And thank you for being polite and not rude. respectively, Janie Brown Hinton Surnames researching: B*R*O*W*N, S*C*O*T*T, H*A*Y*S, M*A*S*S*I*N*G*I*L*L, B*U*R*N*S, C*A*T*E*S, C*O*L*E*M*A*N, D*U*R*H*A*M, H*I*N*T*O*N, L*I*N*D*S*E*Y, L*O*W*R*Y, M*A*R*S*H*A*L*L, P*I*E*R*C*E, R*A*W*L*I*N*S*O*N, F*U*L*G*H*U*M, R*E*Y*N*O*L*D*S, H*E*N*R*Y -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, November 02, 1999 7:47 PM Subject: Re: Houston Chronicle Obits 10/31/1999 >In a message dated 11/02/1999 7:22:52 PM Central Standard Time, >[email protected] writes: > >> I don't have a clue as to what you mean by posting twice.
