Interesting comments. I've been out of town and had 330 emails waiting when I got back so I've been slow on the uptake. I had a problem when I first got on the list....I subscribed to four or five lists simultaneously and typed a generic type message and then sent it out to the counties to which I had subscribed. Within minutes I was accused of "spamming" and sumarily unsubscribed by the list owner not only from Johnson but from all the lists she controls, and was told to join Paul Bailey's message board on eastern KY. I could not understand what the objection or fuss was all about. But it seems since I did not SAY "Johnson" in the list, it was assumed that I had joined Johnson by mistake, when all I had done was try to cut down on the amount of typing I had to do to post query on four or five lists. That was a few weeks ago and I still don't understand what the fuss was about. Can we get another parallel Johnson Co. list going? I belong to a lot of county lists all over and have never been treated the way I was treated on Johnson Co. list but......one person won't deter me from my KY! There is always a way around whatever blocks my path.
