between myself and Peter Stewart, I cannot remember the last time I have
been in touch with him off list. Don't forget I also have the private
address of Spencer Hines, this does not mean I am in alliance with him
either.
The root of discord is crap produced and too many people willing to accept
it, and let Peter Stewart and Leo van de Pas not spoil our little game of
mutual admiration, never mind that the quality of genealogy suffers.
What do you want from Gen-Med? "Nice" afternoon tea parties, or the
genealogical discussions the group was set up for?
We know for years the main contribution of Spencer Whines has been attempts
to display himself as the big know all, but who only gripes and belittles
other people. Genealogy, do you still know what the word means?
With best wishes

The "New Look" here, the Big Change from more Civil Times, is the strong
alliance between Peter Stewart and Leo van de Pas, which is dedicated to
bashing Douglas Richardson at every pass.
That's what lies at the root of the discord.

I have just been reading this list for awhile now because there is
actually some useful info that slips through. But, until now, I have
not posted to it, because I got shot out of the water before I realized
there was a war, the first time I posted.
What would be the harm in making posts that were to the point?
Who you are researching
What sources you have found so far
When you are researching, because multi generational families had
similar/same names
And of course When
Then
the replies could be pretty much the same, no opinions added. Just
quote your source and leave the opinion forming to the readers.
I always believe if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the
problem.

Use what talents you possess; the woods would be verysilent if no birds
sang except those that sang best.
- Henry Van Dyke, 1852 - 1933
Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel asfree to delight in
whatever sunlight remains to them?
- Rose FitzgeraldKennedy, 1890 - 1995
Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feelsbending beneath her,
still she sings away all the same,knowing she has wings.
- Victor Hugo, 1802 - 1885
