This I can understand. However, there is no way that I can go through and selectively edit the postings. To do so I would have to spend more time tailoring them for each respective Rootsweb mailing list than I am willing to spend. 'Tis either all or nothing-no in between. <g> At present it takes me an hour, or more, to create the postings from my digital archive. Fortunately I have already spent the thousands of hours scanning the thousands of pre-1900 newspaper pages from which these offerings are derived. Unfortunately I do not have a newspaper collection specific to one geographic region, just those of a national scope. My best recommendation would be to delete the postings as they arrive if you do not wish to read them. It is each person's choice. If the list administrator(s) would like me to cease and desist I will do so.

Wayne, I get over 250 messages a day so I'm well acquainted with my delete button. I have to tell you that I can't bring myself to just send your e-mails to the trash bin without a peek. Some people are just name-finders and some people are genealogists, family and social historians. You are the latter. Keep it up.
