Does each county really need it's own mailing list? Do we have the readership to support this? Reason being is that each county having it's own mailing list could easily dilute say the Tenn Genealogy Mail-list. Many times the "cross-county-lines" assistance is what is needed. Or would the mailing lists become nothing more than duplicate messages, by that I mean the same ones posted in the county's mail-list and the Tenn Genealogy Mail-list. Just some questions & comments...thoughts from others? Please chime in....
