Well, I was in the process of scouring the British Newspaper Archives for likely articles when I noticed Peter no longer requires our assistance, shame - there are a few Duroe mentions in the area, ah well .....

Peter, many of us indulge in a little banter whilst using OUR time, OUR resources and OUR subscriptions to various sites whilst helping out other members. I actually find your comments to the other helpers here rather childish and petty.

MarieCeleste, This is just another case of a member asking for help and then as stated we were passing time whilst waiting for Peter to reply but as is the attitude of some members who give the impression that they think we the members helping are payed customer support workers for GR so obviously we should not indulge in banter

I am only here until my membership runes out i have let my subs to ancestry laps because i only kept it going to help on the boards as i had finished my own research in 2007 but with attitudes as they are now i am not prepared to continue to pay subs and Carrie on getting responses like this from other members who either cannot afford, know how to or cannot be bothered to pay subs or look for info them selves

I did find an obituary for another Duroe family member but Peter can find that himself now

Well my wrists are stinging too. And I really object to Peter's superior attitude. Well if he is so above us all he can go forth and find it all himself so why don't you delete the information you posted because it certainly isn't appreciated. See Peter. I can be petty and narrow-minded too!

Thanks you guys for making me feel not alone on here now with getting totally p'd off with the attitudes of some - not all - but some of those we help.

You know I do tend to look at how many posts someone has. I don't have masses but I always respect those who have significant numbers. I do get annoyed looking at someone with so few coming back with such an attitude. And let's remember, this is the second time we have encountered this sort of attitude in the last week.

My Platinum runs out this month and I have removed the auto-renewal. I love this site even with all it's deficiencies because you guys make the difference but at this rate there will be no one left.J
