I could understand it if people were in the employment of GR and you cant get out of it,,but as its off peoples own back then its easy......just dont it, then it wouldnt wind anyone up or feel the need to think one has to be there helping 12/24hours a day....... ;-) ;-) ;-)

if its felt someone isnt giving the right feedback of gratitude then leave them to their own devices of searching and extracting what they need. :-D.

as LG says,,,,,,,,Life is good.

Joy... you are the epitome of calmness.

No Rose so far that hasn't to me, but to date I haven't had anyone be rude to me either. Also I am a bit of a research addict and love doing searches.

I always say thank you too, when someone has helped me

As a young researcher, I have to say most people I contact are pleasantly surprised that I am taking an interest in my family history, but treat me no differently to anyone else.

However, a couple of years ago when I was about 16, I offered to do a lookup for one particular person, and received an email back from them teling me to "get off of the site and stop wasting everyone's time" or words to that effect!

I am proud to say that I sent them a very polite reply telling them of their misunderstanding, to which I received a long apology, and I am still a Genes member to this day! :-D

Rose, when that happens, I just leave the site and go elsewhere - better for the blood pressure ;-)

to all helpers
never give up on us we need you
i look for my family on census freebmd ect and sometimes cant find
i post alookup and within 10 mins or so wow someones found what i never could

please please keep up the good work
you are all wonderful people on here [or most of you ]
come on stay in family tree land along with the rest of us nutters
:-D

I can't see in the intros to boards where it says that helpers are members not paid staff.

i dont ask for help that much as i like plodding alone by my self
but were would i be with out all your help.

well i wouldent be no fether than my nose so please dont give up the lookups i love you all


and it some times the same with me with my grave stone thread
it dont mater how meany times i ask people to look thouth the thread for them self there is still the lazzy ones that ask me if i have who ever thay are looking for and i now have one cemetery with over a 1,000 head stones.

ok not all of my head stone are out on the thread as yet but i now tell them that thay have to look for them self and keep an eye on the thread and keep checking just in case ome think pops up for them


but yes some people are very ill mannerd

I wonder just what has to be done to make people realise that it is not paid staff who do all this helping Surely it is made clear enough?

Your unpaid work in looking for information and the generous gift of your time, is most appreciated by 99.9% of us who seek help.

My time is too precious to make comments about 'rude' people

I missed it, I missed it... what happened Gracie....

Who was it that was rude about our Ja......x? :-0 :-0 :-0

What's wif the remark " we pay enough and expect more"

How long you been on the payroll Jax ;-)

I loves ya... Ja..x <3

You hang in there

Persie :-) :-) and a :-) for Gracie

LOL understandable! :-D :-D

I couldn't tell if she meant it in a nice way or she wanted to meet you in a dark alley! (Just kidding - it's a bit hard to interpret what people sometimes really mean when they respond to posts)

I have no idea why she posted that Grace...I only went for a ciggie gone 10 minutes or so

She must have been missing me :-D

Is that why she was "looking for you"?

This was a newbie who was fine to start with and I had thought she had taken in the reasons why she should not start new threads about the same family......then it got nasty.

I am sure my subs will be messed up anyway as the card GR have for me is no more...maybe I should change it to single rather than continueous?

I would still love to know what she said in this thread she started about me :-D

Nooooooooooo Jax don't let them win!!!

Some people are just rude and wouldn't recognise a kind turn if it whacked them on their head.

I always appreciate your help and contribution. Don't let other spoil it for you.

Well affter having more posts reported today than I have had in the last 18 months....I may have to call it a day after my subs are up tomorrow :-D

If I was rude I would love to know what it was I said.

Then the poster started a thread looking for me but I was outside having a ciggie...that got reported before I saw it, I'm pretty thicked skinned and it would take a lot to actually upset me.

I must say I did'nt take kindly to being told "We pay enough and expect more" but that also was reported...not by me I hasten to add


jax
