Fred, Just visited the "Query Express" explaination (????) page. A few questions came to mind. Is this page being done by the same persons working on the Query Forum, Biography, and Obituary pages? Do we now have two, or more, factions within the USGenWeb project that are trying to outdo the other with "query" forms? Have the "leaders", whoever they may be at this point, forgotten that our main purpose is to help the internet public with their family research, rather than keeping EVERYTHING in a state of confusion? [I have already "unsubscribed" from the USGENWEB-L and REMOVED the USGENWEB and WORLD GEN WEB pages from the other pages I have, not including the four Indiana County pages I presently have, for now. The USGENWEB-L had gotten so bad that it was nothing more than a qroup of little kids playing games!] Final question--QUERY EXPRESS--WHY????? Fred, I don't expect you to answer these questions. Just food for thought and questions that may be asked at an opportune time. Another question might be what is the ultimate goal of USGenWeb. Or is there one, presently? My pressure pop-off valve is about ready to blow. Better shutup.
