I have seen some research logs that people use but I find myself either writing notes for thins that are not in columns or making spaces for special information. What information is important for a log? Also I have been told you should keep two logs. One for the people you find and are working on and one for the places you look and the results. That sounds like good advice but then it would seem like you would need other logs, one for the Internet, and one for email. I think I'm going to be forced to make up some custom ones. Would the Rooters contribute what the log should include for information? Or do you have a better way that you could share? Also there should be some commercial software that might be adaptable to this use are any on the list keeping the information this way? Reply to the list so others will know what has been discussed, and I don't get duplicates. Thanks Jim in Phoenix
