IMHO!!!!!! I need some clarification. I thought GAGen-L@rootsweb.com was an email list for the CC's, SC's, RC's and others who maintain pages for those researching family, county, or state history to share with all. Obviously I was mistaken, so where is the list where we learn and share how to do the best job that is possible. Why do I feel like this list isn't where I need to be? I didn't check my email yesterday out of 125 messages 78 were GAGen. I'm not sure about the rest of you, but in addition to the GAGen list, I belong to over 25 mailing lists (as I am sure many of you belong to more). I don't have time to do the best job I can at everything and read as many UNNECESSARY messages as have been sent the last several months. And I do read as many as possible but have found myself deleting to many messages from this list. I hope that wasn't the key to my brick wall in one of those messages. If the GAGen-L email list isn't the one that is to help me, then which list is so I can subscribe to it. Can the bickering be taken to someplace where it belongs? This isn't the first message that I've written (all deleted as I don't want to be a target or start a new series of emails), but it is the first that I've sent. kemis
