Thanks for replying Rick and it seems that the consensus of opinion is that people like this section as it is, KISS.

I personally see it as an opportunity lost in that additional information is not available at your fingertips for the click of a button, as of that by clicking on to the Manx Notebook or likewise the FHS, but the decision was never mine, but of the owner of the site who asked me what my views were and as a person who believes in sharing what I know, I took it on myself to find out what people would like added to the site. As stated above, people want it to be left alone and therefore I'll recommend that to David.

I do not take offense in what people want or see this as a failure on my part, although I was a little surprised with some peoples' emails sent to me, which I won't mention on here, as a couple were rude and another one very abusive.

I will however, take on board certain points thats been raised regarding the FHS and would like to mention that there are certain improvements in the air, due to some positive emails from members who contribute to this site.

As a Junior member, I will try to improve the FHS and continue to provide information when and where I can, regardless of whether it's on the FHS or Genealogy site. There is no reason why people cannot use both and people can therefore benefit from different angles. There never was any hostile bid or secrecy involved as everything was open and for discussion, regardless of my personal views.
There is no hard feelings on my part and will endeavor to provide a better service and put forward suggestions by other members.
I wish you all well and would like to thank Frances, Greg, Sue and the many others who contribute on a daily basis. Thanks for being there when we need you.
Paul
