Greg PLEASE don't absent yourself from this fine newsgroup. There are also many of us who look forward to each newsletter,.we are caring, articulate people as well , I certainly understand your frustration with the list, as it has become cluttered with posts that either have nothing to do with the subject matter, or with people trying to find their lost ancestors....maybe your letter will straighten them all out. You don't know how excting it was to see an Andersonville newsgroup come on line.......and it breaks my heart to see it go. I'm sure most of us here are truly hoping that you will reconsider your decision to leave us.........the list will fall apart if you go, and that will be a shame...In any case, I am grateful to you for sticking with the list for as long as you have....in spite of your total frustration. You have done a wonderful job, just stick with us a little longer. Alexahunt@aol.com
