> Hello Fellow "McCoyers",
>   Is it good to be able to communicate with each other or what!
> Elizabeth I have to agree with you and then some.  When I joined the list
> I did so knowing that everything coming across the mail would not
interest
> me, that's why there is a delete key.  However, I can understand
sometimes
> that it may be frustrating to some, when they receive alot of mail not
> pertaining to their interest.  Kind of like this message I've sent today
> will most likely get some hair raising.  However, "The List Mom" has
> provided a simple way for them to disconnect from the list.  I'm just
glad
> for the ones of us that has a sense of humor, to accept the fact that
> everyone is different in their interest and to be, well let's say normal.

> As for me,  I'll keep seeking out the good McCoy info and discarding the
> rest.  I bet I can even do it without slaming someone else in the
process.
>   So for all of you that read this, sorry if I bored you, have a good day
> anyway.
>   For a piece of McCoy info,  if you are down on the Mississippi Coast,
> there are several little stores that have McCoy items as well as a couple
> of Antique Malls.  Good luck.
>   P.S. Did someone see the "1st McCoy Family" message?  It escaped
without
> the text.  Sorry!
