[or-roots] Why are you on here then?

[Janice Winzinger]

Hi Nancy,

Thank you for your thoughts on this.  My comments weren't intended as a slam.   What I meant, but guess I should have made clearer, was that items such as whether or not there were police at certain locations didn't provide helpful research information--at least not for those of us who live far from there.  When I signed on, I thought the messages would be limited to research resources and answers to questions about families or individuals people were researching.

I really do appreciate your taking time to answer.

Jan

        Jan,

        If you don't like receiving three to six messages a day & it's a waste of your time, 
        why are you on here then? Every message is important on "or-roots" as we are searching for information & etc of our Ancestors. I read all e-mails from the members, if I can help in any little way or more I do. 
        I enjoy ALL messages, will most : )

        Even personal exchange messages are important, interesting & can bring something to light.

        Helen,

        Thank you for being courteously blunt with these folks who wander from topic
        to topic, treating the forum as a general conversation  I think they forget
        not everyone is interested in reading their personal exchange messages.

        I'm new to family research and don't appreciate receiving three to six
        messages a day whose subjects make them look valuable to me, but which waste
        my time when I open them.
