I wish to correct an assumption.........most on this list are interested in family facts/traditions and are perfectly free to post such. If anyone feels the postings are not to your liking, perhaps you should either subscribe to the digest form (which will arrive with several posts lumped together every few days), or unsubscribe. This list is for any SHANNON family, any time, any place. And since I get a copy of each post, I have not seen any that appear overly long. And there's always the delete button. Joyce, list manager
