Well, it seems that someoneee had a beeeeeee in their bonnet over this. If I offended anyone with my question, I apologize. I did not intend to say that MO doesnt mind this list faithfully. I was just questioning if anyone else felt as I did that CURRENT obits were not exactly in line with tracing one's family HISTORY. So far, I've received about half for and half opposed to the current obits. So as Im simply a lister like everyone else, I shall continue to delete them as I get them. Thanks for your time.
