This is true Joe, For most of us this is just a Hobby and is something
that we injoy doing.
I have been at this for over 25 years now. and I probably have about as
much documentation put back as any other researcher here. And even tho
some of it is documented still does not make it so.
Each will need to weigh their info and go over it for themself. And do
their Hobby as they see fit without someone else telling them how to do
it or it will not be a fun Hobby. It will then become a Job.
I have never received one penny for trying to help others. I am not in
this for profit.
We all need to be able to use the couch-L List without getting bashed
every time some one make a post.
If we use private mail then the others don't get the benifit from it.
