Thanks D'Ann.
My apologies to Horace and the list for using the word "sponging". I took
his inference personal that since he served more years in the military than
I, He was more of a patriot. I chose an inappropriate word to make my
statement.
Regards,
Paul

<< Paul,
If I was Horace and someone told me that my 39 years of hard work was
sponging
off the government. It would be a cold day in Hades before I would give
you
the time of day. Your comments are totally personallly abusive and
should
not
be allowed on this discuss list. I ask Sharon would she please moderate.
This
list should be for issues not personal abuse.
Thank you! Terria >>
I read Paul's comments as alerting us that Horace was (1), pandering for a
sympathy vote with the military service and his supposed loyalty to the
project by his work on the bylaws committee, (2) pandering for a heroic
vote
for "saving us" from the gloom and doom of possible
castastrophic
expectations of Ancestry/MyFamily--all issues devoid of logic and based on
pushing our fear buttons.
I'm glad Horace served his country for 39 years. I wish he would serve
NCGenweb for 39 minutes by either surrendering the domain or just dropping
the whole issue off the web forever and coming back to the fold as a sheep
who temporarily lost his way.
