I agree with Lori - When the first pages of the States were up it was easy to go to the state pages and grave all the email address's of the coordinator's from the state page. At that time we were having researchers that didn't go to the county page's they were just emailing the county coordinator's as asking their queries and seeking information - plus we were having spams. We've always asked that each coordinator post them email address on their page predominately so a researcher may contact them or they can be reached... But on the state page it's too easy for all of you to get spammed big time..
