Liz, You stated yourself very clearly. Your comments were either taken out of context, or additional context was added to them. It's a chronic problem within USGenWeb, but we shouldn't let that deter our opinion, or the expression thereof. I, for one, appreciated your comments and look forward to your opinions on these and future matters that arise on this list. --Keith [email protected] wrote: >When I bite the dust, or my toes are turned up, or I follow the lonesome trail, I just want some way to make sure that my county sites stay with GAGenWeb Project. > >I have asked may times for files and permission has always been granted.
