I know that it takes so much time to read and post these obits for others. All I know is that people who are complaining right now would be more than happy if some of these posts had something to do with the families you are researching. What does it take, maybe one minute to delete all of the emails? Keep up the good work posting the obits!

I ditto what Susan said below. I appreciate the work this researcher is going through to get these obits to us. And, happily, I did hit on one which belonged to my line. The few seconds it takes to delete the msgs is nothing compared to all the spam I get and have to wade through. My thanks to the person posting all the obits. -- Martha Ruth Thomas 211-A Damon Street Belen, NM 87002 505-861-0678 mailto:martee@ix.netcom.com http://martee.home.netcom.com/ http://www.OurTangledRoots.com/ ----- Original Message ----- From: Susan Stahley To: PAMCKEAN-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, September 05, 2004 3:05 PM Subject: Re: [PAMCKEAN] Obituary Posts to the Message Board I know that it takes so much time to read and post these obits for others.
