Hello, I have been a silent subscriber to this list for sometime. I do not put many posts out there myself, but enjoy reading everone's input. What I would like to know is, as long as the mail that this ( and other lists ) receive is clean, non- abusive and in the interests of research, What seems to be the problem ? There is a key on the keyboard called delete. If one does not want to read the post that is posted ( by reviewing the subject matter first ) then just delete and then delete the delete files. I do have an example : Suppose " Jane Doe " orders " B " cable channel with her subscription, then 2 months into the future she complains about what is on " B " channel, meanwhile there are many other people who enjoy the programming. Are the " powers that be " supposed to displease and create controversy and cancel the programming ? I certainly hope not!!! Saying that obituaries do not belong on such a list like this, is like saying that "Big Bird " does not belong on Sesame Street! Or should Big Bird go solo? I for one ( and may be the only one, but that does not bother me ) will unsubscribe if the ones that are willing to put out info and benefit others are not allowed to do so. Too bad though, I was going to gather my data and post such info on this list concerning my findings on Armstrong County Civil War Soldiers.... but I guess that would be clogging up the list, soon there will be nothing but people asking for help and no one will have any answers! Also, I have not been receiving the obits on this list, now I know why. Best Regards, Thomas Allan Wright Sr [email protected]
