[or-roots] reply: Slightly off-topic, RE: Cecil

Osiyo, Dan, Or-rooters,

Well, no, I don't know all what happened.  I agree.  But, I used to be a 
Cecil too, on another list. I was a list hog, because I was so into 
genealogy, and history, I loved it so much, it became such a hobby.  
Sometimes you can get treated unfairly, and picked on.  You do good work, 
people get jealous.  They can find something to post too, find a topic they 
can go off on too, rather than look at Cecil and his good work, and be 
jealous of his work.

Though, I never made threats or hate mail to anyone, I merely stated how I 
felt, and never made threats.  No one should do that, but perhaps people have 
made this gent, Cecil, so upset, they won't talk to him, they just want to 
pull the plug on the fellow.  It seems like his work is good.  That is all 
that should matter.  When Cecil is asked to not post long URL's or whatever 
is going on, no, Cecil shouldn't do that, but what is wrong with long URL's 
to other websites?  

Dan, maybe you and Cecil should talk.  Dan is a reasonable person.  I have 
dealt with him too.  Sometimes it is hard to convey your tone, and emotions 
with electronic communication.  Your voice and tones can be taken the wrong 
way.  Cecil should not have to worry about his Family Tree-Maker being swept 
up by any group, Rootsweb, anyone, that is his work, and as I am sure it is 
copyrighted.  

Yes, everyone on Or-roots and other Rootsweb state message boards can find a 
topic, like wagon trains to Oregon, and list their own little topic.  It 
takes a little creative mind, and bingo, go down to your local library, and 
start finding a topic to post!  Cecil can post, and so can everyone else, and 
this message board will make everyone around the country want to be on 
it...win awards!!
