Re: [Cz-L] To all list members

I fully agree with Christian, it is not easy to be a moderator,
particularly
to such a big and active list as ours. Bruce and Jerome spend a lot
of time
keeping this list going and if and when, they reject a message
because they think it is offensive, or outside the boundaries of our
subject,
they do so, with good intention.

Most of us, occasionally write messages which may seem offensive to some
and not offensive to others. The moderators are not our elected
officials,
nor our paid employees. Therefore we cannot dictate to them what is
offensive
and what is not. I am very grateful to Bruce and Jerome for keeping
this list going
and hope that all current members will stay on the list.

It may also be advisable that all of us make an effort not to insult
any member
of the list and limit our messages to information exchange on the
subject
of Czernowitz and Sadagora Jewish History and Genealogy.
About other topics which occasionally come up and interest us, we can
write directly
to individual members of the list, who have shown an interest in
these topics.

This list has now been in existence for over 12 years,
the number of members has kept on growing, obviously we like being
part of it.
Let's not break it up, nor disregard all the work which Bruce and Jerome
have invested in the list and the website.
