Tina, I'm thinking the problem might be the 20-30 emails received last night and this morning announcing pictures, etc. that were added to the GA GenWeb Archives for Wilkinson county. This is the only list I subscribe to that has this sort of announcements. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's the only list I subscribe to that has people adding things to the Archives? Usually the announcements only come 1-2 at a time, and not all that often, but there were a lot of them last night. Is there any way to put those into a DIGEST form rather than as individual announcements?

Thanks, Donali, I do now remember those coming in. It was alot and it was annoying. Those are not anything I can manage, but if you want to put yourself on DIGEST, I think that would make them come in in one big email, rather than indivdiually. I forget who posted those, if I even knew, but hopefully (while the pix are I'm sure valuable and useful to some descendants!) there won't be zillions of them coming thru again. Sorry for the inconvenience....but for someone who is a descendant of anyone in those pix, it could be a wonderful Find that wouldn't be considered an inconvenience! :) I did see that one of the pix appears to be related to my KINGERY line (not my dir. ancestor), but even that photo will be of interest to me --- but to someone, it may be their direct line ancestor! We dont see that happening much at all on this list, not to that degree, so hang in there and hopefully we won't be having all those emails in the future....

Personally I wasn't annoyed with the volume, I was just annoyed that none of those people was related to me, because if they had been I'd have felt like I'd won the lottery! ;-)

I haven't read all of the correspondence regarding the subject of too many e-mails BUT I have to comment on the recent ones about the photos . This wasn't annoying to me! These were photos of ANCESTORS IN MY LINE. You can only imagine how thrilled I was to see them. I also "met" the cousin who contributed them. I belong to several list that share info such as this. I wish all of the counties had folks sharing their info, documents, photos, etc. When this type info doesn't pertain to me, I simply delete. Thanks . claudia
