Hopeing for a better webpage for Madison Co., IN., soon. Marcie Davis spacedup@indy.net Please send to me in private.Thanks ! >> Listers: Here we go again. List owners want help but not to the list. I post to a list for all to take and share not to a list owner for people to go to thieir site and get #s on a counter. I freely share my resources to lists and I have also got chewed out for POSTING OFF TOPIC. So many list owners only want names, dates, places but they do not want any places posted where out of state, county, city people can be found. You will feel I am not correct in my sumation. I get kicked off lists for speaking my feelings. I see lists as a place to share traditions, stories, forgotten old recipes. speak of how cooking was done, what cooking was done on. These items are interesting to me as it gives an ancestor a demention that is hard for some to comprehend. Even clothing. Persons could even put personal site address with pics of their family and style of clothing they wore in the 1850s, 1900s or as far back as they have pics or even a tintype copy. [mail to me in private so as not to clog up the mailing list.] This is not clutter what you are asking for and the listers will not be able to thank the contributor for a good post to the list as sharing is done. I hope you will think this over and let the list post and contribute and receive the thank you's for a good post and resource they have fouund befificial to them, they deserve to receive thank you's. Every one does not send a thank you to lister of a good post but there are those that like to and I am one that does this. It makes for good friends in cyber space on lists. Some may feel I am out of line, so be it. I am a member of many good lists that work the above way and we have fun. ONe list has made Sun of topic day and it is not crowded with posts but the posts are fun to see and read. Now I will climb off my soap box and wait for the ax to fall and my name to be expelled from the list. Beej in AZ PS As Paul Harvey says 'The rest of the story" I can not get to IN to see, do, and go the libraries, online is how I do this. When I visit IN I go to yard sales and buy old things that are junk to you but to me it belonged to someones ancestor and I will charish it as it had been one of my ancestors belongings. One of my charished belongings is a hand huen rolling pin from a yard sale in Ligionier, IN and paid the humgus price of $.10 for it. I love it, my children love it, visitors love it. Climbing down from soap box #2. They say don't send something without re reading it. I have done this twice and maintain the same thoughts. All have a lovely day and May God our Creator Bless you all and keep you all well. I may never pass this way again. Beej in AZ
