This is a general comment. Previously if anyone "replied" to an email, it went directly to the person who sent the email and was not posted on the entire list. Since this has changed, there have been a number of problems. One has been the increase in emails that are really replies back and forth on a topic that is possibly of limited interest. (I for one enjoy all the food lore but know that this is not a universal interest.) The other is that the subject lines do not reflect the content of the email. This is a problem for me since with the increased volume, I don't read everything and may be missing out on some information of interest. Example -- there was a response to an email with subject "Ebbs, Brown, Orner" which I have not been reading. However I happened to look at this one and it was about early Centre County history -- not "Ebbs, Brown, Orner." I think this is happening because people are using reply to post general queries. Does anyone else have an opinion on this or suggestions for the list about email exchange?

I agree with what you are saying, as I do the samething and delete stuff that maybe be the same subject of the email. I think the subject line should be changed to the subject you are talking about as a lot of people may be missing out on important information they are looking for. Thanks for bringing this up to everyone.
