seems there were two of them but unfortunately no forenames given - it's a lengthy document but there seem to be no forenames for any of those surnames on there

I sent him a message - as yet unread - if he's not careful I'll track him down and then look out!!!!

He's had one of my message too, sent yesterday .....not opened as yet. He's probably heard that Ann's after him!! Cx.

quite honestly David, if you can't be bothered to come back or respond to the messages we have sent you, why should we bother?

we know you have read the messages

Cynthia

I sent David a message asking if the information found for him had been helpful. The reply I received indicated that it had not.

I sent a reply in which the words 'good manners' were mentioned!



Such is life. Cx.

AnnCardiff Report 16 Apr 2010 10:03

and I know I should not really do this but the reply I received is so arrogant I think fellow members should see it


Dear ann do not understand your message please use pain english or explian what info you claim to have found think you will find it is me that has supplied you with info regarding my family tree

Yours Dr David John Holdsworth, M.A. Hons PhD


just goes to show that if you are allegedly intelligent you are not necessarily blessed with good manners

AnnCardiff Report 16 Apr 2010 10:03

beginning to think that maybe this person thinks we are employed by GR, not people who enjoy helping others

I notice it was "Cheers Dave" in his opemng post - my how you have changed

Did not impress me in any way at all, none of us put our qualifications on here or blow our own trumpets - something we are taught when we are young

AnnCardiff

AnnCardiff Report 16 Apr 2010 10:08

and for the record this is the message which apparently was not in "pain" English which I sent


"are likely to return to your posting or not? if not, I shall delete the information that it took ages for me to find for you"

OK I omitted the "you" at the beginning but it is quite clear

AnnCardiff

AnnCardiff Report 16 Apr 2010 10:57

also in your opening post it should be "whether" not "weather"

only two "t's" in contradictory and you do not spell information as you have - just pointing this out as you seem so keen on "pain" English
