Quite true, Ms. Holland. The difference seems to lie in our concepts of what
is relevant to genealogy. To those of us who feel that "context" is
essential to genealogy, pointing that out is an entirely-on-point way of
"agreeing with or disputing a point."

So, as someone said earlier, we can agree to disagree. <sm>
