Don: Thanks for the positive feedback. I've enjoyed corresponding with you in the past on some of those baffling genealogical mysteries we are all working so diligently to solve. Anyway, what is really painful to read on the list is that people are refusing to see that the issue of obit postings is multifaceted. If you love the obits and find them useful, then to hell with those who don't! And if you hate the obits, then those crazy-obit lovers can go you know where (though it never appeared to me that the "obit-haters" tried to get rid of the obits altogether. Just maybe get them into a different format). First, I think that Edward, who administers this list, has already made a decision. While I think we could have found a middle-ground compromise here where everyone could have gotten a bit (though not all) of what they wanted, the bottom line is that a decision has been made already on the issue. Unfortunately, at this point in time, the issue appears moot. I'm hoping in the future that all the list users can attempt a little more compromise with each other. And less name calling. The Fayette County list is one of my favorite places to go with genealogy questions. It's best if we can try to create tone of helpfulness and cordiality with each other.
