John, Might I suggest that you sign up for the Digest version John, that way, you will only receive 1 e-mail a day. It's a great way also to wade through all the trivialized muck. :-) What you don't like, you can just "X" out. :-) Case in point #1> Your flaming statement to Laura (who by the way is neither confused, sensitive or bored)! Case in point #2> Your comment on the trial transcript which, in my opinion, was beyond a "smart a**" remark, and really not necessary. As to not much on our county having information at your library, have you ever thought to transcribe a census? How about some submissions to RootsWeb? Or IlGenweb? One should really not criticize unless one has contributed something. :-) It is also a shame that you do not want to interact with us. Some of the people on this list have fought for things and principles that you can only dream of. What little information is out there about Washington County had to be fought for, and there are some on this list who take offense to your criticism. Let me point out one thing though, there are many families here representing most of the smaller hamlets of Washington County, and it is to bad that you don't want the trivial things about your family or possibly the families that they interacted with. It is one thing to get a census reading, it is quite another to have a history and feeling for the ones that came before us. I say...."forge" ahead John >:-} And you can "quote" me to your compatriots.
