1. Please all remember this is the time of year when we get many newbies on
the mail list who are NOT familiar with the internet, email or their computer.
2. Remember when YOU were a newbie?
3. Have patience and compassion!
4. What was happening was that Steven from Utica was "forwarding" posts
from the list TO the list.
Then other people were hitting "reply" to reply to Steven, but because it
was a forwarded message, all the replies seemed as if they came from Steven
not the replier and if they hit "reply all" they got posted to the list
twice because the first message was forwarded. This scenario kept
happening on top of itself.
MORAL OF THIS INVOLVED AND TWISTED STORY -------

DO NOT EVER, EVER, "FORWARD" ANYTHING TO THE LIST.
If you get something from another list you want to share then, please copy
and paste it. And never forward your own or other posts back to this
list----PLEASE.
No more chit chat about this.... lets all just get back to genealogy.
