I regard everybody on this list as a friend, I will answer their
questions if I can. At times I have bend over backwards to do
so. Quite a few I have helped off this list as well.

One thing I don't like is this hyena attitude----let's attack one
person, whether it is Spencer Hines or anyone else. The
conversation about Copyright was done in a civilised manner,
well, at least almost to the end.

No, I am not defending Spencer Hines, I am trying to point out
how several people, usual non-contributors, use this list to vent
their spleen. If they didn't we would not even know they were
there. To those few, look at your messages---you are abusing
the right of free speech.

All are supposed to join this list for the sake of history and
genealogy in the medieval period, let us stick to that.
Best wishes
Leo van de Pas
