From: Kenneth Nordtvedt Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2011 12:29 PM To: genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com Subject: Heresay and Message ettiquette Heresay is most often rejected from court proceedings, and probably for the better. In our messages there can be worse than heresay, there is often purposeful or random editing of second and third hand comments left in a thread, making the heresay a piece of cosmic noise but usually connected with some alleged author. . It is getting out of hand. If one is replying to B, I really think pieces of earlier messages by C, D, ...... should be totally erased. We all have an erase button and should probably use it more often and extensively when entering a thread. Anyway, I’m going to try to keep this in mind and I hope others do as well.
