Sure Delilah; but it takes a lot of time to go through deleting 18 messages of stuff you don't even know what the people are talking about because they are brief one liners. All of us should use this forum to impart useful information and make specific requests that provide more than just a single name. It wouldn't hurt to provide enough detail that everyone can understand what you are talking about. I have learned to that by doing so, you get more needed information from others. Otherwise, it is Junk Mail and I don't know anyone who appreciates junk mail even if they do have a delete button. That is why most people buy Spam software. The original complaint by Myers to receiving these type short personal messages that are not informative was correct. Contact each other by your personal E-Mail rather than loading everyone else down once you have a contact going on that might mean only something to only one person which whom you have had a previous had a discussion that the rest of us were not privy to. That is a reasonable request. Right? I am not complaining about those messages where more detailed information is provided that everyone can appreciate. For example, I am not related to the Phillips family but haven't complained about using this process as a forum because useful information was being exchanged by many people. It was great. No complaints there. This was the way this service was meant to be used.

Yes, it could be a lot to delete, but I wish when posting names, put the county or some location as to where they lived. This is a Walker COunty but there are references to Fayette County and others, Also if I knew how to not have the entire e-mail; sent in an answer, I would do that, can somebody tell me how? delilah ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann S.
