Cousins, Sadly, the petty bickering continues, along with the "Off Subject" topic. As a result, I have "REMOVED" a total of SIX (6) subscribers from the list. This is NOT what I ever wanted to do, or envisioned me having to do. Those 6 that were removed can be reinstated to the list "if" they cease the chatter which has become a nusiance and very annoying. When I started this list back in December, 1996 I had great expectations. You have all lived up to it, I am truely proud of all my Wallace Cousins. However, this past weekend has ......... well, I'm at a loss for words. I do know for a fact, that at least Four (4) people who are not subscribed members of this list are SLAMMING the list with much of the Off Subject Topic. They are: "Sharon A. Johnson" <cheraj@northcoast.com> "David T. Green" <d..green@worldnet.att.net> "Sharon Clark" <clarksh@juno.com> "Wright Hillary" <wright_hillary_at_xamiatlanta@ccmail.ahlstrom.com> I am in the process of writing to Dr. Brian Leverich, System Administrator, RootsWeb seeking ways to prevent this in the future. If necessary, I will take the list "Private" which will make it necessary for all messages to be sent to me before they are rebroadcast. Believe me, I don't want to do that. I have a business to run, which is NOT related to genealogy and I do this for the benefit of all "gratis". Let's all calm down and get back to the subject at hand. Researching our Wallace Ancestors and connections. A very frustrated, Chuck Carter Listowner WALLACE-L@rootsweb.com WALLACE-D@rotsweb.com
