Maybe I am becoming senile, but I thought I had a post here?

Has an editor been here?

Is it possible that future editing will erase a lot of this very site?

Would be a shame!

As that great Viking says on the TV commercial "No new Axes!" LOL

Regards,

PS, if any members wish to contact me directly. (since my brief sojourn upon ".net" taught me that "private messages" could be considered as "trolling"), his screen name was "drgonzaga."

Otherwise, I would consider PM's, but it seems that I have some problems with completing them here?

I can be found at my own old e-mail site, which is " opuslola@aol.com "

Regards again,

No editing to my knowledge.

Although if this is a question or concern it is in the wrong sub.

This thread deals with specifically ''The Historical Approach to Research''.

Consequently posts in it should be dealing in that vein.

Otherwize they are nothing more then spam and or trolling.

And we don't want that...do we.

Dear Centrix Vigillis! How are things in retirement! I am now age 67 and still working. Hope you are OK!

I certainly hope this is not trolling nor spam!

If so, forgive me?

Regards,
Ron
