Accepted Bob, pity Pru didnt advise us before the so called negotiations were set up.

It was never the intention of ganging up, we were marking time for an answer from Pru to set up a proper place for tombstone research.

I do of course course accept your advice.

I will take no further part in this project, I cannot speak for the others.

Oh dear Berlin-Bob - so sorry. I should have made it much more obvious that I had my tongue well and truly in my cheek! I am very happy with the forum's protocols and was merely having a bit of fun with the word 'gang'.

Sorry Mike, I modified the topic title and was then called away (I was at work) and wasn't able to get back online till tonight  :-\  My apologies.
Not sure what you mean about "didn't advise you before the negotiations were set up"  ???  I've been in constant contact with RabbitB about the gravestone/inscription deciphering project and how best to set it up as a "regular feature".

I don't have an answer for you yet about how we are going to set it up (waiting for Admin, i.e. Trystan, to give us his opinion) so am of course happy for you to all continue helping out as you are doing.  The only thing I would stress is that we really don't want to make it seem like an exclusive club.  Using the term "gang" does give that impression to some people so I would ask that future threads are titled using the normal 'protocols", i.e. "help deciphering inscription" or some such.

Pru

I see the prolific posts of the Yellow Tail Gang are off topic, maybe we should have been told to post there untill something proper could be agreed. Thus the temporary title gang might not have gone against RC rules.

I apologise if my comment seemed a slight on your input, which has at all times been very helpfull.

I still  want to know who changed the title and why.

Nice to see you on our thread, welcome to the Graveyard Gang!

We are the boys and girls well known as workers at the GGT, and every day all fresh we line up to see the pics we like and shout aloud with glee,
we like to laugh and have a sing song, just a happy crowd are wee-ee
we're so very happy we are the G of MJB

May I just point out, that there are no "gangs" on RootsChat.

Can I ask if this thread is a replacement and if I may post them here?
This thread is not a replacement, simply a new request for help.

If anybody needs help deciphering, be it a will, a gravestone, a plaque or a certificate, then

    Just post a new topic on the appropriate board, asking for help.

There is no need to ask whether you can "join in", if you are a member of RootsChat, you are already "in"  :)

Hi Bob,

I think that I must hold up my hands and get them slapped for everything, blame me please, it is all my fault!

I would never never presume to put my foot in it on purpose!  We never intended to try and be anything other than a Team!

Our Moderator has been kept fully informed of our doings and I would like to think that you will see what we have been trying to do here

Please accept my apologies for the silly song!  It was very childish.

I had already apologised to Prue that we were off topic because we needed to practice our skills on these stones, it is a serious topic and a little light conversation helps us along

Thank you for having told me that you disapprove.  I welcome any suggestions especially yours.

Lets just put and end to this string. It does not advance your cause.
