Hmmmmmm. I see you still can't find that shift key.

1. I never withhold genealogical information, even from someone who has
treated me very badly. To do so is puerile and petty. Many others read
the post, so I may be helping them too. Yes, Gordon has shown before
that he can be puerile and petty. His emotional age is about 6 ---- so,
I'm not surprised.

2. However, there may be another -- or an additional -- explanation.
Colonel John Washington may not be a descendant of Edward III, as Gordon
told us, but only of Edward I. Yes, John Steele Gordon may have screwed
the pooch again. We'll see. I told y'all that he was helpless without
his tutors, editors and handholders.

3. Now, if he did screw the pooch and misread Faris II, or just tried
to do it "from memory" ---- a sieve to be sure ---- he may well not want
to admit it, particularly to me. We'll see.

George Washington is a descendant of Edward III, through Colonel George
Reade [George's 2nd Great-Granddaddy] and Mildred Warner [George's
paternal Grandmother]. But that doesn't make Colonel John Washington
[George's Great-Granddaddy] a descendant of Edward III, unless he has a
line of descent of his own.

4. Will Gordon emerge from the shadows of his foxhole in Westchester
County and clear things up? I wouldn't bet on it. Maybe yes, maybe no.
Maybe rain, maybe snow. He may just hunker down and hope everyone
forgets about this one. We've often seen him try to do that before.

5. You certainly have a sour attitude. Many people here have tried to
help you, myself included. But you seem far too blunt and obtuse to see
that. I seem to be the only one who is still talking to you in the
newsgroup. I get the impression from your angry whining that people are
not helping you in e-mail. Is that the case?

6. You said you were going to post a series of messages. What happened
to that commitment?

7. I told you to do your homework and post one question at a time. You
ignored my advice and sent us a long, disorganized screed, poorly
written, unedited and absolutely incomprehensible in many parts. You
threw the kitchen sink at us. People are ignoring you because you've
proven to be a colossal pain in the derriere. Your mind seems to
function like a chicken coop that hasn't been cleaned out in four or
five years.

8. I asked us to tell us who your Gateway Ancestor is, whose lines you
are trying to trace back to the Greys. You ignored that too. If you
don't know, you should say so. Work the genealogy from your end. We
generally get in the game here about 1600 ---- but there are exceptions.
You don't seem to have gotten anywhere near 1600.

I've about come to the conclusion that I'm just wasting my time on you.
I appear to be quite slow --- or maybe it's just Christian kindness and
patience ---- because others saw through you early-on and dropped you
like a hot potato.

We're smart, knowledgeable, competent, busy people here. We all have
families to support, or books to read and write, or careers to manage,
or loved ones to spend time with ---- or all the above.

We don't have either the time, the disposition or the inclination to
play games with a woman who shows less discipline, intelligence and
focus than a two-year-old child ---- and who makes angry,
unsubstantiated scurrilous charges against us.

So, make up your mind. Get focused, start to fly right ---- or take
your whining, your complaining and your unfocused emotional charges,
sans any legitimacy, to some other venue.

People have given you very good genealogical advice, gratis ---- and you
spurn it. It's no wonder that they have gone silent.
