Dear Diane

This sounds like a threat! Honestly though, I think you are under a
misapprehension about the purpose of this list. Although many people do
request a look-up there is no certainty that anyone will be able to spare a
bit of valuable time to do it. Everybody on this list is researching their
own family and the information you are requesting would take up quite a lot
of that valuable time.

Have you not considered visiting your local FHS and studying the censuses
for yourself? I think you will value the results far more if you have done
the hard work! Instead of leaving the list in a sulk why not stay around
and gain some knowledge from some of the very helpful people here.
Genealogy requires patience!

Good luck in your searches
