Hi Dick & all, You are right about what you say, but the main reason I wanted to do this is because no one except me, and one or two others, was contributing to the list. I am currently in a position such that I cannot carry the list alone--I simply don't have the time, especially since being sick I must now catch up on a myriad of things (which include the Oct issue of the Spindle, AND the Ancestor Chart book & index for BOTH). In this regard your #2 is something I disagree with. That's why I suggested the "reply to list" feature. Indeed it can be a dangerous thing. I hope more people will comment on this! If we were to envision ourselves, not at computers at various ends of the earth, but as family members around a big table.......We could share what we have with one another, disagree amiably if necessary, saying "here's why I think this way..." Currently whatever I tried to do technically was unsuccessful because "reply to list" doesn't work. I am what they call a "newbie listowner" and don't know too much about technical stuff. I am glad you are in favor of archiving the material. j.
