If we ask ourselves the questions " Does this email pertain to genealogy? Does it deserve being archived for future reading? I believe that we might view what we send to the lists differently. At this time of the year we like to send good wishes, etc to our friends, but perhaps would do better to send them to the individual, rather than the many. Right now I'm being inundated with emails, from the various lists I belong to, and, while I understand the emotions, feel that if folks would remember the archiving aspect, they might be less prone to send seasonal greetings, etc.... I don't think that this is "bah humbug", but just good sense!
