I signed on as a free member when Lost Cousins started and dutifully entered all my family from the 1881, but have never found any new "cousins" over the years.  Don't pay a sub, but still receive the newsletter.  (I think there's been a topic on here before criticising the owner's attitude.)

Well I got "told off" on the Lost Cousins Forum by the owner the other day for making a post about the Dorset OPC site having a lot more free information than another site which the thread was about.  The LC Forum owner had made a comment that the site on the original post had limited information.  Apparently I shouldn't have made the post because the Dorset OPC site was already included in his Resources Section and had been for three years. :-X  Now there are often comments in other sections of RC about site links in RC Resources sections and I've never been told I couldn't comment elsewhere on RC about them.  No wonder the LC Forum has few posts on it if the rules are that stringent that you can't comment on anything other than in a specific place. ::)

I don't tend to hang out on the LC Forum but have a look every so often to see if patronage has improved, to be honest in light of the even fewer posts on it recently, I don't see the benefit of it.  Far better to inhabit Rootschat. ;D

That's brilliant. I presume they were using predictive text.  ;D

You can only like yourself once, I just tried it ;D. If you click like again it removes the first one.
Yes, accidentally discovered that, pressed 'like' on a post when I had already liked it and of course it changed back from blue and had to re-like it   :)

Email for week 6 hasn't appeared here yet ... Midday NZ time 18th

re the absence of the Educators ...

Maybe they've been busy sticking initials on little coloured flags  ;)
... certainly must have taken them a while!
