This is a very good reason to leave a list as yes there's little reason to read or get mail you aren't interested in. Each of us will have very different goals in joining lists like this. My Relatives only lived in Jackson County for a brief period before moving onward. I am interested in getting any obscure information not only about THEM but about what life was like during the time they would have lived there. For this reason I find this information most facinating but YES if there was too much information for me to either handle or digest I'm not sure if I'd leave the list just because there was a bit more mail or just delete the excess for a brief period knowing that this sadly isn't going to last very long and in the very near future I might find something I can truly use from a list like this. Truly in Geneology the most important lesson is that you never can be exactly certain where that next grain of information will come from. I've learned more information from places where I least expected to find it or frankly wasn't even looking!!! Marge
