Gordon ....
That email below hurt and I am typing this with very hurt feelings... no one like to be belittled, especially from a person in charge of site.." who made you God of Email's"...you must be angry because I corrected you on the Harlan Co Ky Pace Boards as you were giving them wrong infomation that you had not cked out ... I think we have enough trouble without someone giving out wrong information... which you did.. I sent in my line to mailing list and you come along take my information and answer a Query.. well I learned you were taking people info and building a huge data Base..and answering Queries all over GENFORUM, BOARDS & etc.. and I sure was not going to give you corrected info..to claim you were in the "know" from all my hard work . I feel if you have a data base you should ck out info yourself.. to know it right .. if not you allow wrong infomation out there.. and that is why so much confusion .....that is why I have never gone to your site.. as not sure it correct.!
. from my experience with you...

Sorry you are dismayed, my messages must not be meant for you..and I did not know I had to be a scholar to send email thru to mailing list .. wonder how come I get emails on the side from others, that seem to appreciate what I am sending.. and some of us are working togather... and I truly hope you do not offend others as you have me..I am told my (...) between sentence's is acceptable to some Scholars.. that is why I started using it.. as knew I have forgotten much of my punctuation ... does this mean I have to work on my own because I do not use correct Punctuation... and never join a mailing list ?...

I have been on many mailing lists since 1998 when I got my computer .. and you are the first to knock how I write... I can't help but think it because I corrected you..as I also quit getting info from Pace mailing list shortly afterward and I had to sign up again.. I do not feel this is right.. either.. but I did not report you.. BUT if I see people putting wrong info out there I do tell them.. as we have to correct this mess of wrong info being copied...and most new Genealogist are the guilty Parties.. until they finally learn Databases are wicked.. and most in error... Maybe a few out there that are good.. but far more wrong ones.. Hope you have cked out your Database to be sure it correct..

I now know why mailing lists have Lurker as they are afraid of being called down by such as you....Roy is a School Teacher.. and he does not put people down, as you have just done...I was raised in family of school teacher..and at my age... I think I can write anyway I want.. I am not into criticizing one work I am in to getting infor. and correct information.. I don't have time to be petty and knock people's punctuation, alot of us are up there in years and know we don't have a lot of time.. so do not think we have to be totally correct or a scholar..besides we are use to reading old writing which.. finally some of it gets inbred into our brain..

Your sentence's does not make sense to me either.. in one sentence,you say you appreciate my imput to list .. but then the next sentence you put me down.. you have also left me confused.. do you or don't you appreciate my imput..? ....I am not out to win a contest in Punctuation, or a Spelling Bee, I am into doing Genealogy... and if you wish I will remain a lurker.. or are you afraid someone is getting too much attention.. I am totally confused abt your email..

No one said in rules for joining mailing list we had to write in a conventional way..besides what is the unconventional way in which I write..? I send thru things in bold letter so one sees it .. I write in color to seperate documents

I have sent this to others that are on Pace mailing list as I feel you are a unjust
Web Master.. and do not have the right to belittle anyone...for punctuation, or the uncoventional way they write.. I know it will not make it to the Pace mailing list... also intend to send to Rootsweb. and Ancestry.com as they are sponsor of mailing lists ..I just wonder how many others you have offended..and hurt seems you hold grudges.. and if others feel I write unconventionally I will try to correct but not on your word alone...
I remain Darlene Pace of Oregon

Darlene:
I appreciate your input to the PACE-L mailing list but I am dismayed by the fact that most of your messages are incoherent to me - it is very difficult to discern what you are trying to say, mostly due to the lack of punctuation and other unconventional ways of expressing your ideas.
If you can send me a copy of the messages that did not make it to the PACE-L list I may be able to determine why they did not make it to the list.
