I have set here and read all the remarks about the sqob page and I remember when Betty asked me to set up this link about two and a half years ago. No one wanted to do it, some thought it a good idea and some were against it. To be quite honest all of you, it is a job to maintain, at the beginning it was great, if the cc's had a change to be made they would send it to me and it would get updated. As of late I am lucky if I get a 5% input on these links from the cc's and sometimes get YELLED at if a link is not correct. I thing it would be better served to have this page on the state page. It could be transparent, and a link could be put up on the state page at the Indiana County Index to it. This would solve the problem of the individual links required on each page. While we are at it the following stipulation should be made that the individual cc's should provide to the state accurate information about their counties for this link to work, We all know that Lori has enough work to do without this added burden, believe me I know what it takes to make this link work. Another reason for having this link on the state page is it does generate a lot of traffic [hits], which would be better credited to the state page than my site. just my thoughts......jerry > Date: Thu, 29 Apr 1999 22:28:55 -0500 > From: "John G.
