I agree with the concern about the Armstrong discussion being so broad that virtually any topic within reason might be covered. I skim the digest and DO find the non-genealogical banter very distracting and seldom of interest to me. I have considered unsubscribing, because I do not find it relevant to my genealogy interests. I DO NOT have a problem with people finding new friends and relatives and enjoying their company, and I do not wish to lose the great genealogical resources that are here. I would suggest that someone consider that two lists might be appropriate: one for genealogy and one for socialization. -- Dave Murray --------------------------------- Get your own web address for just $1.99/1st yr.

" I skim the digest and DO find the non-genealogical banter very distracting and seldom of interest to me." I have a suggestion here that may benefit all of us. On the Genealogy4Dummies list we also have topics that aren't genealogy related. When we wish to post non-genealogy topics, they're marked "OT" meaning "off topic". Perhaps that might be doable here to? At least then if they are OT and some of us aren't interested, we can easily by-pass or delete the OT messages. Just a suggestion John! ;D Take care, Rob.

Dave, there is an Armstrong-Gen Only list for those who don't want to participate in anything but genealogy.
