Thanks for your participation. > Dear Lister Owner: I appreciate your interest for requesting feedback on the resource(s) of your list and am responding to same. I subscribe to many lists as research aids to assist me in my genealogy studies and I found your list to be very helpful and courteous! Matter of fact, I would rate the Scotland list as my number 1 preferred list and I regret having to unsubscribe at this time! The list members are fabulous with their quick, helpful tips and suggestions as well as being very well behaved; the best by far of all my lists! My choice to unsubscribe came about because of new changes in my daily lifestyle and routines; which is that of becoming a full time college student after a 30 year absence and maintaining a part time job, my household obligations, tending to family needs and of course the big one, my relationship commitment to my husband ... so being spread so thin there just is not enough time to do what is required of me and still be able to enjoy my life! Therefore, I came to the conclusion that if I am to be successful at my new objectives I then need to eliminate ALL of my distractions which have been preventing me from doing the required studies and homework assignments! Thus! No more genealogy, no more gardening, no more day dreaming and no more novus attempts at novel writings until I can prove I am capable of managing my new stress factors in an orderly and timely fashion. It's only been one day into my new commitment and I already am feeling the grieving process beginning to set in ... I will be so grateful if I make through and actually finish this semester! Thank you again for requesting my input and a chance to vent! G'Day to you, and best wishes for all of your pursuits for happiness as well! :>) Babs
