My only concern now is if we start posting a large amount of messages discussing the recent amount of members who unsubscribed due to they dissatifaction of the topic. These comments even though are meant as supportive will cause additional members to leave. As the List Mom for this list, I have not been concerned at all with the discussion of cemeteries and the cleaning of them. That is one of the reasons for this list. We can't worry about the members who left, hopefully some will retrun and just today we have had many new members join us. As a reminder, The MO-Cemeteries mailing list is for anyone interested in locating, and preserving historical information about, Missouri cemeteries. We welcome queries and postings regarding location of graves, cemeteries which have been indexed both on the internet and in other written forms, cemetery research, and the care of tombstones and cemeteries.
