Re: [ranchos] Who's Who New Column

[Alicia Carrillo <alliecar@...>]

Joseph,

In regards to your question for another column would it not be possible to also include your area of research in the same column we now have for areas or towns of research. All members in this group are well aware that Ranchos is for the three states and any direct communication regarding research or data from other areas could be directed to the interested party off line. in this way you would not have to make any database changes, just a thought.

 

This group is so well behaved and by and large follows rules very well.

 I know it sounds as if I'm talking about children and not adults but some children are better mannered than some adults. That's one of the endearing qualities of this group, it's adherence to the rules and criteria for membership, it's ethics, integrity and respect for all members.

 

I've said my peace and I'll now get off my soapbox...............Alicia
