Greetings, cousins. The following from Carole Hammet needs no
explanation. It is an astute commentary on human nature . . .I'm sure it
doesn't apply to any of you, but is a well-taken "warning". I wish all
warnings were as benign. Just think, a year from now we'll be face to
face with Y2K [unlesss y'all have a Macintosh <G>].

Hi, Combs Cousins. For those of you who have been part of our group more
than a year, this is Old News, but for those who came along later, a Warning!!
Beginning this Thursday Night, and continuing through the month of January,
things are going to be kind of crazy on all the RootsWeb Lists.
Why?
Because Santa Claus will have been and gone, and we are about to be joined
by a whole bunch of Brand New Cousins with Brand New Computers and Brand
New On-Line Accounts who will have almost No Idea what they are doing.
<G>
I would like to ask for both your patience and your help during this time
period. Errors will be made (like leaving entire digests in their replies)
and Questions will be asked (such as "What's a <snip>?").
Let us all remember that these were once Our Errors and Our Questions and
that although our New Cousins may know nothing about Computers and On-Line,
many of them will be extremely experienced researchers with overflowing
filing cabinets whose contents may hold Your Ancestors!
Sincerely,
Carole Hammett,
