Fourth type: Agitator = someone who likes to throw out a match to see if he can start a flame war. And then he keeps adding fuel to the fire with name calling and denigration of everyone who doesn't agree with him. Jonathan Swift: Argument is the worst form of conversation.

That's the one who knows more than anyone else, and is absolutely certain the "rest" of us, (1) use these lists just to learn what the Presumer knows, and (2) are eternally thankful for the tidbits of nonsense he tosses to them. Joanne PS From both your test and your answers, I suggest you "presumeth too much".

The biggest shock of all was a very NICE letter from the Culpeper list administrator saying how she loved this, and another one from the turd who runs the Southside Virginia list threatening anyone who dared to respond to my quiz with eviction from "his' list. (Uh, wonder how the people at Rootsweb would take that?). Well, as we have seen, just goes to prove there are nice people and nasty people out there. Odd, isn't it? The ones who want to impose all the "rules" that you don't know about are the very ones who don't apply them to themselves. Man, I never thought I'd say this, but it's enough to make me vote Democrat! Now here is my last message before the answer, which will not have any editorials (and yes, I think you many last-minute answerers...you have given some good insights but I think they are MOSTLY well covered in the original nine)....may all of you have a great new year and learn to love one another, and treat each other with respect and love.
