Barney, you probably have a good thought. But, I for one, do not mind taking the extra time going through the 100+ messages daily (more, of course, if I have been gone for a while). One of my surnames just might be in the middle. And, no, I do not have all that extra time; but, if I continue to pursue my family roots, reading other messages go along with it. Others read mine - besides, there is always that delete key. Do hope those who can and are willing to continue with this service will do so. Perhaps the Digest version would be of more benefit rather than the separate listings. Billie Beth M.
