In Response To: Re: Purchase of IOM Records ()

Dear Ms. Coakley,
I do not understand your post still, in ARCHIVES 2, post date 10/3/2009. I posted about the ELECTRONIC COMPENDIUM, which did not have anything to do with asking about a a look up for an ancestor, it was a COMPLIMENTARY post on your works on the electronic compendium, which you replied, accepting my kindness, you wrote back, quoting Saxton's Reported comment( he was the earliest great English mapmaker) that he merley reaped the corn that others had sown applies to MNB as I am just an acting archivist, stating also that, I think it was inteneded as a compliment. I came back, stating most assuredly it was a compliment and stated those who reap the corn that is sown- must also know how to store it and and that you have done well in storlng it, so that others may reap from your works.

At the time a Ms. Kay Clegg came back with a response ," I am GLAD you cleared that UP. I hadn't the vaguest NOTION what Electronic Compendium you'd been up to. I was getting ready to Google it. Nice you could get your mother to write in like that, Francis"].

So I was not aware you called it the MANX NOTE BOOK in refering to your works, I was new and called it, your MANX NOTEBOOK an ELECTRONIC COMPENDIUM.

You did not chide me attoll, at that time, about me not using the board as a LOOK UP for ancestry needs or for the compliments. So this is so ironic, as the board has been used as a well wishes board for MERRY CHRISTMAS, A SYMPATHY CARD BOARD FOR THE DEATH of one the compliers who did so much in wills and birth and marriages, a direction board for those who need directions, a tourist board for places to stay and on and on, throughout the post.

Before you took my compliments and I even asked how to buy your first C D which I did, and you were kind to me by forwarding me your new one. I have thanked you by post and all I was doing, in my perhaps non-understand AMERICAN WAY, was to compliment you again, perhaps not as you would like, so if I offended you, I AM SORRY, and I shall remember in the future that the board is ONLY for LOOK UPS FOR GENEALOGLY; for I came back this time for the CORLETTE look up. I am sorry you feel I was making gawking statements, I thought I was honouring you, and shall not make the mistake again, but this is a paradox, you did not CHIDE me before in my 10/3/2009 post, so this is really hard to understand, your lastest POST to me, you just posted to me is to understand ;if was not right the first time, I posted, why did not you CHIDE me then and all others who DO NOT USE THIS BOARD AS GENEALOGY LOOK UP BOARD????? This is very hurtful to me, very hurtful.

Kindly yours,

Mrs. Rosa
