Gabbie, I didn't mean that I didn't want you to talk about Benton County, or the Historical society or the books they have for sale. I expect that. I am not limiting the list to just genealogy. The only thing I meant is when someone writes to the list and says something like " I want one too" " why isn't my quarterly here?" or some such personal message then people start unsubscribing. Those are personal messages. See the difference. I certainly didn't mean to upset anyone. I suppose I can change the list so that replies go only to the person who wrote the email but that cuts down on information when we are talking about someone's genealogy lines. We have to work together to have a good list and I also have to run the list according to rootsweb's guidelines. I am walking a fine line. Now please write back and tell me you understand. Mary
