It's disappointing, having not browsed this group for a long while
that the first message I see is abusive .. some people don't seem to
have a real life it seems - good luck though to the rest of you

You're right on the money, John. When Diana says she is a person who
wants to "further their knowledge and share an interest," she means she
wants to lurk in the background and obtain information for free without
offering any help herself.

I checked the archives just now. As best I could tell, Diana has
posted five times on the medieval genealogy newsgroup in the last six
years. That's less than once a year. Her posts contain requests for
help, not information for others. This is hardly a person who wants to
"share an interest." Rather, it is almost exclusively a one-way street
going Diana's way.

Lurkers like Diana seem to feel that the newsgroup owes them free
information, along with the right to critize anyone they like. I
disagree with both positions. If someone is going to criticize, they
should be posting regularly right along with everyone else.

I don't know anything about Diana but can describe my position
I'm a lurker in this newsgroup, picking up information but not contributing
why?
because I am a complete and utter novice in this period and (to my regret)
do not have enough time (nor ability) to reach a level at which I could
usefully contribute
I can and do offer help and information but not in this area
so in this newsgroup I'm a sponge, but over all newsgroups I think that the
flow in and flow out balance each other

I suspect many of the members of the newsgroup are in a similar position

If anyone wants to criticise, they should be prepared to make this
specific and to back it up - that's all. Once a reader engages in this
way, he or she is no longer a lurker anyway but a participant.

WHY should someone who feels a need to criticise on one score have to
contribute differently on another? If you think you have an authority
to make such arbitrary statements criticising someone who posted in
good faith, WHY shouldn't Diana think she has too?

I don't know Diana and won't try to speak for her or
lurkers like her, but lurkers like me believe the
newsgroup owes us nothing. As it so happens, the
newsgroup does provide “free information,” useful and
otherwise. It also at times provides advertisements
for not-so-free sources of information. Lurkers like
me read posts when we have spare time or when a
heading interests us. (Sometimes I'm even amused by
the rants, the petty squabbling, and the utterly
inconsequential pseudo-intellectual oneupsmanship
waged by the characters here. You guys are a hoot! The
oh-so-earnest demands for apologies are a particular
favorite of mine.)

Back to us lurkers: We post when we feel like it,
which for me is rarely. The right to “criticize anyone
[we] like” is guaranteed (at least in the U.S., and
with certain limitations) by the First Amendment. As
far as I can tell, this is an open forum for anyone to
participate in, use, or ignore as they see fit (within
the bounds of copyright and other applicable laws).
Sorry, but your disagreement with these facts is
inconsequential and does not change them. So far as I
can tell further, there are no obligations; no
warranty is intended or implied.

Oh, and I'll save you a little time. This is my 19th
post here since 2001. A few (like this one) fit with,
if not a majority, then a solid minority of the
posts—they were off-topic. Several others requested
information. Not that I felt said information was owed
to me, but that if others had answers to my questions
and were inclined to share that was nice. Several of
my posts were responses to the questions of others.
Sure, I could participate more, but I'm not sure to
what ends. To be perfectly honest, my competence on
the vast majority of the on-topic subjects discussed
here is surpassed by that of other members. If anyone
is interested in the Brisco family of Cumberland
county, England and other collateral and associated
Cumberland and Westmorland families from circa 1400 to
1600 I might just be your man, and I'd be happy to
help. Hell, I'd even give you my research for
inclusion in your next book if only my immigrant
ancestors had made their way to America a couple of
hundred years earlier.

Actually, Mark, I'm quite sincere about my request that Peter Stewart
apologize for his remarks about Dr. David Kelley, FASG. I have a very
high opinion of Dr. Kelley. He's a distinguished genealogist who
deserves our respect and praise. For Mr. Stewart to call Dr. Kelley
an "idiot" and "Tweedledum" is way out of line.

PA2.


Then Richardson wants to attract a gaggle of no-cost-to-him research
assistants to do the basic scut work for him and separate the sheep from
the goats ---- Valid Royal Bastards from Invalids.


Having collected a mound of tailored, digitized SGM data, Richardson
wants to snip it, slice it, and dice it ---- then put it in his

provided it to him gratis.

This isn't medieval and it can be of no legitimate interest to the

Brandon and in the hope that this will shut him up:

The descent is from William Cavendish, 4th duke of Devonshire (died 1764)

The decent is legitimate and not on my mother's side. The promise Hines is
flagrantly misrepresenting relates only to a person who died young and in
most unhappy circumstances in Hawaii (where miserable people go to die,
apparently). It has nothing whatsoever to do with this matter.

Balderdash - you characterised his methods of collecting material for an
important section of something you called "PA3". This was in November 2003.
If you were right then, his duplicitous working methods must mean that he
CANNOT deserve the lavish praise and congratulations that recently you have
been trying to lay on with an industrial trowel.

Now you say that his work is NOT a revision of PA2 and that only a
brain-bollixed loon would call it "PA3".

Unless you can prove that Richardson threw out all his research after
November 2003 and started again from scratch, producing a different book
from that point on his own unaided efforts (apart from any appropriate
acknowledements), you are clearly talking at cross-purposes with yourself.

But why should that surprise us when you pretend to know Latin without
recognising a deponent verb?
