I have to piggy back my reply since I didn't see the original that Cara posted. Most of us will kill for a list admin that sends items to the list and is very active! People who find these nifty tidbits are a blessing to any list and need to be treasured <G> They may be of no real interest to me or they maybe the gem that helps me find my Dublin family how will I know if I don't check the posts out? There is always someone (and sometimes really nice someones on a bad day) who think the list should be narrow and genealogy is only old records of dates not records of life in general. To me it is all that tells us about our ancestors and their way of life. Things that seem logical to us have no logic to those living back in the day. On another list we had a member who was stunned that her ancestors "who could read and write" might live in a home, one roomed home, with a dirt floor. She had never researched living conditions in our area (outside of Philadelphia) when in reality when many got here in the 1600's they lived in caves, or hollows they scraped out along the rivers. There were years of this for many until they could build a home with a roof! We read a lot about Hedge Schools and people living along the hedge rows but we drop it from our thinking when doing genealogy.
