<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Les</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My curiosity was piqued by your words "in order to
access the database". I'm obviously missing something. What data
base?</FONT></DIV>

used to have to<BR>> sign up for the list, and I think some folks assume that
is stll the case<BR>> when they find items listed there while searching,or
maybe not. Anyway I get<BR>> the impression a lot of folks sign up for very
limited purpose and don't<BR>> take kindly to the loose rules we live
by.<BR>> <BR>> I have been on other lists where any posting that didn't
follow a rigid<BR>> format;<BR>> <BR>> Surname all CAPS followed by
dates of birth/ death or appx followed by<BR>> region<BR>> <BR>> then
text of query, must be of genealogical nature, IE natality, spouse<BR>>
children or mortality info ONLY<BR>> <BR>> followed by your name AND
email address<BR>> <BR>> imagine what THOSE rules would do to us!<BR>>
<BR>> Les<BR>> <BR>> I don't know why people leave when all the people
are telling their history,<BR>> this is one of the most interesting part
of genealogy,<BR>> all the ( sort of) interviews.<BR>> <BR>> Dan
