I am reluctant to bring this up, but I do want to report that my email today contained 19 messages, of which 14 were on the Blair County "Cookbook." Although the recipes ("sugar," vinegar in milk, pot pie, usw.) are perhaps of historical interest, and the gossip is no doubt enjoyed greatly in Blair County and environs, I question whether much of the material is of true genealogical significance. Is there some way that the "Cookbook" material could be put into a separate forum so that all subscribers to the Blair County site would not automatically receive this information? Just think of all the energy which could be saved: growing food to sustain the reading and typing efforts, electricity (with associated carbon dioxide output) to run computers, labor to delete messages, usw. If I could smell the food cooking from out here in Washington state, perhaps I would feel differently. Or, if free samples were sent? (The chocolate cake sounds delicious)
