Thank you Patty. I got some angry emails from people who obviously
misunderstood the message so let me summarize the main points:

1. Yes, I do recieve a commission, BUT, if you had read the entire
message, my commission is being donated to rootsweb...ergo, I'm not
getting the money
2. The money received through amazon from the homepage goes to support
rootsweb, not me!
3. If you wanted to help support rootsweb (which MOST list members do),
there are a variety of ways to do this...This is just a new way for my
listmembers to help support rootsweb.

I hope this helps to clarify things for the people who thought I was
trying to make a profit for myself. Thanks for your time and I hope
this is the last message about this to go out to the lists:)
