Subject: Re: STEVE COKER From: Urq5 Date: February 22, 1998 As another serious researcher of South Carolina history & genealogy who was also born in SC & continues to live in SC, I'd like to make a few comments on the current discussion. Mr. Coker is a hard man to argue with-- his latest posting is absolutely right in so many ways. 1. We should not rise up in mutiny demanding a vote. We have no vote. We should simply be grateful to the listowner for providing the service-- however we choose to use it--however messages we choose to read or delete. 2. Nothing has been taken away from you by the slowing of Mr. Coker's postings-- no opportunity & no information. It is all right there online at the SCHS URL which has been frequently posted. 3. It does not make good sense to copy all of the information from one site onto another when most researchers have the ability to go to the URL & read the information. That is not the purpose of this list. Otherwise, the name should just be changed to the SCHS mail list. 4. Whatever inspired Mr. Coker's recent flurry of postings, we should all be appreciative--not for flooding our mailboxes -- but for enlightening so many about the materials available online from the SCHS. 5. Mr. Coker has done more than his share. Therefore, I hope you will all leave the listowner alone, leave Mr. Coker alone and put your energies & time toward getting out there and finding the information. AND if you find something real good, do your fellow researchers a favor by posting it to the list-- or posting the URL to the list with a good descriptive subject line. Happy hunting and good health to you all. URQ Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
