Linda,
I'm the admin to the Eau Claire Co. message board and also the mail
list for that county. I remember seeing your announcement come
through my notifications for the board and thought it was an excellent
message - very informative for those interested in Norwegian research.
I just looked at the Eau Claire Co. board and see that an
announcement dated June 16th titled "Attention Norwegian-Americans!"
is at the top of the board's list, so who ever removed your posting
from the other boards, missed the EC one! I also see that you have
unsubbed from the mail list. Please feel free to resubscribe any time
you have an announcement, such as this one was. I am on your side and
do not know how anyone could think that the information you provided
was spam or anything at all negative to the genealogical community.
Just wanted you to know...
