[just my personal opinion] at the moment my gene. program <BR>> will not allow me to copy anything to paper or disk. but when its fixed, <BR>> after i move, then all are welcome to anything i have. i have found a <BR>> copying place that will do the pics. all i have ever asked is that i am <BR>> paid for my outlay of cash. soma do and soma don't. <BR>> gary in az. <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> ----- Original Message ----- <BR>> From: "Leslie Chapman" <REEDSPORTCHAPMANS @verizon.net=""><BR>> To: <OR-ROOTS @sosinet.sos.state.or.us=""><BR>> Sent: Sunday, March 19, 2006 12:44 PM <BR>> Subject: [or-roots] Brickwalls redux <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> >I can understand your frustration Karla, but just let me give you an <BR>> >example <BR>> > of why mosts lists like to do this little thing, even though it drives a <BR>> > lot <BR>> > of folks nuts who have signed up, often without realizing they have <BR>> > volunteered to recieve unspecified quantities of email from total <BR>> > strangers <BR>> > [and boy are some of us strange] in their inbox. <BR>> > <BR>> > Mosts lists call it simply "Roll Call" the Wheeler list which is another <BR>> > list I am on that has historically been very active though has been slow <BR>> > of <BR>> > late, as much as a week going by without a post, as opposed to my Pierce <BR>> > list which was dissolved because the host refused to allot space to a list <BR>> > that only got a post every year or two. <BR>> > <BR>> > My point is that there may be a Newbie out there who is sitting on their <BR>> > grand-dad's diary that they just happened to look at last week again and <BR>> > wondered who the heck all of thos John Smiths were in Podunk that came to <B r="">> > Boring with grandpa, now if it happens to be John smith, John Smith Jr. <BR>> > and <BR>> > John Smith the third from Podunk that moved to Boring with "your grandpa" <BR>> > and you posted that question last year and Mr Newbie isn't curious enough <BR>> > about these folks to do a google or whatever on them, the two of you might <BR>> > not connect, but if Mr Newbie has been lurking here for the last three <BR>> > months and you repost your John Smiths and the name resonate with him <BR>> > enough <BR>> > for him to dig out the diary and reread it, you might have the proverbial <BR>> > "Gold Mine" <BR>> > <BR>> > My personal brick wall is who was the Mrs Barnes that nursed my great <BR>> > grandfather Milan Morell Melvin through an epidemic on the Wagon Train to <BR>> > Wherever the heck they first came to (first inof we have hard knowedge is <BR>> > thier residing in Del Norte Co Cal, but no wagon train terminus near <BR>> > there??) <BR>> > <BR>> > But back to my story [now you can see why every tiime I open my mouth at <BR>> > family gatherings somebody stuffs my foot in it] <BR>> > I came on here a year or two ago in answer to a similar complaint about <BR>> > why <BR>> > repost and I threw out one of my dead ends by example, just like the above <BR>> > Mrs Barnes story and one of the people on the list googled my question and <BR>> > there was my answer.
