I have also had major help and great contacts, swapped information and certificates. I do not open my tree to just anyone who asks either. If people do not respond to my questions after a not so polite request to view my tree, that is their loss. I did not say I was not willing to share. I have done so many times as have others with me.

Just the same, it is not up to GR to tell people they should respond. They send me an email like that and I would be insulted as well. I would also think very hard about renewing.

About to rush off and see if I have a message from GR about responding to others. Been a bit slack lately, only have 140 contacts in my contact box.

Well 139 actually because one contact is me.

What?? And why can't I talk to myself or send myself a message occasionally.

So where does it say you Should Respond. Even though you already do respond, we pay our money and I feel it is up to the person concerned if they wish to reply.

I have had a few PM from people "Open your tree" "Can I view your Tree" and equally bizarre requests and not hint of who they are looking for or why, how they are related ect. I used to respond to these but now do not bother as usually they never get back anyway.

Have just recieved an E mail from Genes telling me that I should respond to other members if they contact me.
As it happens, I always do, but often don´t recieve the same courtesy.
perhaps if the Gene´s team were to take a look at themselves, they might realise where the bulk of the problems lie.
