I'm a little late with feedback on this as I've been gone a week, but I like the requests going through the ILGREENE list along with other information requested of the list--I often find useful (or just interesting) information from the other postings. Perhaps to speed searches for people with limited interest, the specific surname request could be used in the subject line. You can still hit the "reply" button to respond, but just add your surname to the subject line. For instance "Subject: re. Memory Book SMITH, BROWN." This is used on another list I use with a huge volume of postings. Susan RENO LeBlanc
