This is what I am talking about when I speak of those in the trenches. I have spent much time there myself. They don't know what all the hubbub is about. They just want to transcribe and contribute. This mess is all bound up with the "managers". Remove the top and it all goes away. That is why I say let everyone transcribe, but no duplicates. If the "managers" want to fight let them do it in private.

This explains what the argument is. I was wondering exactly. I am doing Grant Co., KY with a book donated by S-K Publishing Co. I am glad to do it. I just want everyone to have access to it and it not be a paid database. Sue : After much reflection I want to share my thoughts with the : Board and the USGW world, I guess, since this is an open : read list. I write this while yawning in disgust. --------------D7CE6E85F41CCD987EAEFD55--
