Ummm, I'm seeing a lot of unsubscribes all of a sudden...I really hope we aren't running off people, because if we are, I want to find a way to repair those relationships. As I see it, prowling old cemeteries and rescuing them from decay is a very important part of geneaology. You just never know who you'll find where or to whom that information might be important. I certainly think that looking up graves for folks is *just* as important and I never intended to marginalise those interests when I suggested a cemetery rescue project. I thought it was just a natural extension.... I'm feeling uncomfortable here..... List Mom? Kathleen

Kathleen, I can only say that sometimes the amount of email this site generates can seem overwhelming at times. I too have thought of unsubscribing in the past for that reason. For example: My computer was down for the past five days and when I finally got into my email late last night the were 136 messages, most of them were from this site. I wonder if it would be possible to somehow set up a chat room for just such times as these when there is a subject of intense interest so that the back and fourth discussion could still happen without clogging all of the list members email. Just an idea. I agree with you though that preserving old cemetaries is something that needs to be paid more attention to, not just in Missouri but everywhere and if some of those members who do live closer together can save even one then this list has acomplished something wonderful.
