And not everyone has a current atlas or a general knowledge of all
countries and their current boundaries. That does not mean that their
family tree is not well researched. I think some nitpickiness is
uncalled for in helping others with their research and since there are
alot of "Newbie's" on this and other lists, it would be kinder to
share some of the knowledge that we have all acquired. We were ALL
newbies at some point.

There seems to be alot of negative comments on the list recently. It
would be nice if the pre-screeners just didn't allow these posts
through on the Roots list.
