Pat, Thanks for voicing your opinon. I have had some experience with My Family.com and I know where you are coming from. I haven't been into my MyFamily.com page in awhile but I believe you can turn off receiving the birthdays etc. Also now you can access all your pages with one password. The web page at MyFamily.com will not change anything on this list. This list is a rootsweb list and it will always be here. And I don't expect anyone will leave. That is not what Vickie has in mind. What she is saying is that she will take the Digests from this list and post them to the web page for easy access. Anyone can upload pictures to the web site which will make sharing pictures easy.
