Hi Everyone,
I just want to remind you that flamming is not allowed on the list!
Here is rule #2 on the List rules, that can be viewed at :

http://www.zoomnet.net/~chipmunk/SurnamesMail.html

Rule #2
•DON'T - send derogatory comments about others on the list. This is
called 'flaming', is rude and disruptive, and can get you kicked off
of
some lists for such bad behavior.

The list now has 208 subscribers and not everyone feels comfortable to
share on the list, some share privately.

Thanks for your time and patience in dealing with this matter! Do not
remark to the list ,on this matter, direct all replies to me!
