OK folks the archiving is about ready for take off. I have been asked to not announce the archiving URL until we get the big OK BUT. . . .I went to the URL to see how it works and it will be great! May I please take this time to post an opinion - I don't do this very often to the list but this one is important. Our lists are valuable to us. We take pride in our work and the words that we write, hopefully. Any message you send to "the group" WILL BE ARCHIVED. Any message you send to an individual or individuals WILL NOT. Watch what you do when you press the return key and make sure who you want to send a message to. The other point is this If you are sending a message that gives names and dates etc. . please please please make a note to say somewhere that the material is FACTUAL or is SPECUALIVE based on what info you have of that date. There will be people down the road who were not part of our list when the original message was sent out and they might not read the entire line of messages. They will read a portion of the message and think it is "the truth" written in stone. Use Sources or something - this could end up being a dissaster if we don't take care of it now. There is nothing we can do about the old archived messages but we can watch what we do in the future. Everyone knows what it is like to take a wrong turn down the goose chase road to nowhere. :) Keep up the good work and I will let you know when the archives are reading for searches. BTW - if you have found any URL's lately you would love share - 'tis the season. Stay warm and cozy. Thanks a bunch Kay
