No! Read the original non-question. My reply was short and succinct. If people can't be bothered to provide sufficient information or background detail when asking a question, why should we try and work out what it was you were trying to say! If you were a researcher, what would say when asked to find the life history of John Smith born somewhere in England, sometime in the 16th century? The hijacking is a fact of life because people do not understand the difference between two common verbs or commands: write and reply. They read a message thread and then click reply to send a new message rather than using the write command. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
