    3. I have resigned as CC of Madison County TNGenWeb. The immediate reason is a personal indiscretion of a mail list, but I was planning to place Madison County up for adoption in June anyway. I will continue uploading files at least until a new CC is chosen. I would like to continue working on Jonathan Smith's materials after that. My family is from and I live in Decatur County. When I played with genealogy, it was with families in Decatur and Henderson counties. I have largely ignored Henderson and Decatur counties since I took over Madison County TNGenWeb in late 2001. In 2001 I already had some Madison Co. materials on another web site and I figured I could move those files and do 3-4 Jonathan Smith work each year. I have ended up spending a lot more time on Madison Co. I don't regret it, I have enjoyed it, and I will continue. At the same time, there is a sense of guilt. December 2003-March 2004 I worked on Decatur and Henderson Co. cemeteries. I felt guilty the whole time for ignoring Madison Co. I feel CCs should try to help visitors to genweb sites, but I have never even tried, primarily because of my lack of knowledge. Every time I respond to an email telling the person to repost their question to the query board or genforum I feel guilty. Resigning gets rid of the sense of guilt. To prove I am still around, I uploaded pages 9-14 of Jonathan Smith's "My Riverside Cemetery Tombstone Incrpription Scrapbook II." I am working on pp. 15-19 now. David
