OK now...behave yourselves...This list is for WEAVER topics not humor - unless you are passing along a WEAVER tidbit, please refrain from sending a totally off-topic mesage to the list. Now, about the attributions...the original poster (to GRAY-L) did not give credit to the gatherer - I'm guessing they also received it from somewhere since I have seen it before many times - please refrain from posting information without attributions unless it was data gathered by you personally. > And certainly graveyard humor is appropriate to genealogists. After all, don't > all of our friends and family think us weird for spending our weekends > exploring old cemeteries instead of at the beach or something?<g> That is true & there is a list on rootsweb specifically created as an outlet for tickling our funny bone - to subscribe send a message to mailto:GENHUMOR-D-request@rootsweb.com (digest mode) or mailto:GENHUMOR-L-request@rootsweb.com (mail mode) with SUBSCRIBE as the only text. A similar ML is the folklore list to subscribe send a message to mailto:FOLKLORE-d-request@rootsweb.com (digest mode) or mailto:FOLKLORE-l-request@rootsweb.com (mail mode) with SUBSCRIBE as the only text. > As a members of many mail lists, I learned a long time ago that they put the > delete key there for a reason... use it. Many of our list members are on digest mode. Please consider this when you say just delete it - the digest subscribers would have to delete the entire digest & there may have been a message they wanted to save. And, finally to keep this list moving smoothly, let me tell you the listowner (moi) prefers that there be only *on-topic* messages - that is related to WEAVER/WEVER/WEBBER/WEBER or any other spelling variation. Besides, do you know how many times on other lists some of us have seen that funny epitaph listing?
