Or care. Or, during "relaxed" times, 150 recipes for corn bread (to which I probably gleefully added my two cents worth). I'm leaving the Gen-Newbie list because it simply takes too much of my time to find the "real genealogy" questions among the rest of those things. I think it's a shame. What it really means is that "newbies" (and by the way, that phrase far predates this list) have no "place" where they can go for mentoring and guidance *except* this list. Now that I know that, I, for one, am resolving to tone down my sometimes snarky remarks. Anyone with me?
