Michael

i know exactly how you feel, there are times when i could make comments about the lack of manners by some posters, but i think i would be heading for a GR holiday.

Also when people ask for a look up on the 1911 census and say " anyone have spare credits" dont they realise its people who have a subscription, that do these look ups, they certainly dont know the cost of credits to view the records

Sorry I kicked that off folks. Just totally exasperated with the lack of manners and respect.
Costs nothing to say please or thank you after all and to demand information like that is totally out of order in my book.
My apologies again.

Astra,

No need to apologise,if they can't use Please and Thank you then I don't think anyone should do look ups for them and she had some cheek..

must say that that reply took my breath away!


I guess it all comes down to the misinformaiton that GR promotes


They never actually say that all help on here is provided by members, using their own memberships, subscriptions and money, do they?

Nor that the members help because they love to help, and enjoy the hunt to find hiding ancestors.

Not to mention the chance to educate newbies to the hobby in how to find things for themselves, and thus get more satisfaction.


The implication is that GR carries ALL the records you might need (false!), and that they have the help available .... with the inevitable assumption that said help is paid to be available 24/7, and of course never need any civilities such as Please or Thank You.


the words false and advertising come to mind!

I wondered whether Michael was going to start leaving his trademark post in such opportune places as this:

eats shoots and leaves

;)

but apparently he choked on the first one!

Try reading the Success Stories board. It's amazing what GenesReunited does for people!! Funny how you never see them round the boards here ...
