It seems to me that each list has its own problems.  Some are large and some
are small.

We just have to work through and/or around them to get to the real purpose
of the lists.  That is to help each other-- and if correction is needed,
then sometimes that is the way we help, as a teacher helps the students.

The important thing to remember is that since we want to help each other
with our FAMILY research, then we must consider ourselves, family, and act
accordingly.

Janet has it right.  People need to be less testy, aggrieved, and
defensive.  No one intends to misspell or misspeak or miswrrite.  That's why
they're called accidents.

it's used as a possessive pronoun, as the wagon train had "its" own
problems.
