It's an open discussion board. The other person was "pinged" because I was directing the message to him yet notifying you that I was talking about you behind your back.

This is FR courtesy. BTW, every authorized user is allowed to comment on every post in a thread whether the poster likes it or not.

Hawaii state law limits access to birth records of 75 years or less to the person named on the certificate, the parents, descendants, spouse, legal guardians and individuals who share a common ancestor (i.e. cousins, grandparent, aunts/uncles) with the person named on the certificate. Birth records more than 75 years old are open to the public.

1. I know it is an open discussion board.

2. I know about pinging courtesy.

3. I know you are allowed to comment on any thread.

I just don’t know why you have chosen to continually respond to me about nothing on this thread.

As I said, I don’t care that you think this is settled and I thought the issue raised by the thread starter raised some interesting questions. I furhter said, I might care had you said the particular issue I raised was settled and provided me a link where you thought it was settled. You didn’t, so I don’t understand why you keep respond to or even more about me?
