The reverse side of your proposal, Bart is that a lot of extraneous information can be put on, cluttering up the message board. I e-mailed two complete pages of county history to a lister on this message board. I saw no reason to take up space and time from others in pasting them on this medium. It was information specifically of interest to the lister and had a low probability of being of interest to anyone else. The source of the information is on the web - so if anyone else wanted it, they could look it up. The lister was unaware of the existence of this resource - so I helped out. Conservation of space in a universal medium (i.e. this Message Board) should always be a consideration in sending out information. Alan McCullough
