>Dear Wabbiteatribe,
I am not a mindreader----sorry but this thick person finds your
message even more unkind-grandstanding than before. I presumed
you were telling something---3913724 in JQA's AT, whatever is that
telling us? Do you think we all have his ancestor list to that degree?
How presumptious! Who is nr. 3.913.724? And who ever it is, what has
it got to do with William Longespee? Does that one number exclude him?
In fact, of course I may be wrong, as far as I can check there are two
lines between John Quincy Adams and William Longespee.
I presumed (how wrong I was) you were giving an old retrievable message
and I don't know how to retrieve these---I was looking forward to a
treasure chest of knowledge---all I got was presumptious grandstanding.
Sorry if I sound off but really dismissing someone else careful pointing
out "there might be a link" in such ungracious manner without giving
chapter or verse why you dismiss that suggestion, I find unkind and useless.
If I sound like Spencer Hines---I am starting to understand his frustration.
