A reminder from the management . . . regarding the subject matter of posts to this list > From: "Roland Elliott" <[email protected]> > Subject: Prerequisites for being a Modern Extreme Liberal > Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2000 18:34:10 -0700 > To: [email protected] Roland, PLEASE think twice the next time you forward material to the Hardy County genealogy discussion list. In a list like this, where we are not selected for our political, religious and personal predilections, one cannot share grossly slanted views and opinions without hurting, angering and boring a great number of readers. You won't hear from many people -- I usually delete unpleasantness and do not respond on other lists where I am just a member -- but the result is unfortunate. Mental notes may be made. People will drop out. Someone who has a vital bit of information or help may decide not to share it. We will all lose. There are places to share your political and social views. This is not one. Our topics are genealogy of Hardy County families and history as it touched their lives. This is a broad area for discussion and controversy is not discouraged as long as it is relevent to the topics. As a matter of fact, it would be quite interesting to explore the political, religious and social brouhahas of the past.
