Hi Everyone,
Thanks for so many responses to my first email.
Robert asked about flaming. Flaming is when a person deliberately writes
something mean, nasty, critizing, or just down right obnoxious to the list
about another person or their point of view.
As an example, what would happen if I wrote to the list saying that I
thought that Person A was totally wrong. It could cause someone else to
write in that she was absolutely correct, which could cause another to write
in saying that one was wrong. This is called a "flame war". This can lead
to the disolution on a list completely and that is why it will not be
tolerated.
Our main purpose is to try to help one another to find all those missing
links in our lives and to topple those "brick walls" that we all have. I'm
not saying that we can't go off topic here and there, but please have some
genealogy in each post.
Thanks again,
Maureen in RI
