Amen Margaret!

Maybe these new users do not know about List archives; and all of you must
admit that mastering this sophisticated level of gedcom takes more than
beginner skill, genealogically and geek-wise. Some of them might be very
accomplished genealogists, but perhaps are new to computing. We need to give
them a lot of credit for even finding RM and choosing it above the others.

Heaven knows, I still have problems! Gosh, I inadvertently deleted my
g'mother last spring when I was just starting on RM and panicked.
Graciously; the RM cyber cavalry came to my rescue. They were very kind,
although I'm sure they had to be secretly laughing.They kept it to
themselves.

Let us all just love one another,
Debra
