Good Morning Phyllis, >From my reading of Lauren's email; she is a volunteer the same as you & I. Perhaps just for longer and on a much bigger scale. I have no clue how anyone has time for 159 boards and approximately 100 lists and still have time for any of their own genealogical research. <G> I have difficultly just reading the 50 or so boards & lists to which I am subscribed. However, I think Lauren sent you the email with the best of intentions. Not to create difficulties or to criticize. Perhaps, she did not phrase her suggestions in the best manner possible ? NO one on this list wants you to go anyplace !!! We all appreciate the time and effort which you devote to this list and the Pea River Historical and Genealogical Society. I think most of us enjoy your "list management" style. Otherwise, we would not have remained members. Please think about this for a few days. Then, If you wish to implement what Lauren considers a suggestion; use whatever "welcome message" and "tag line" you want. It is your list. Most of us could care less about the issue. As you stated, "WE ARE COMFORTABLE HERE". Have a great week !!
