re: Tom Mote message: I'm new to the Ellis County list - and lists in general- but isn't why we selected the option of getting every message rather than the digest, so that no opportunity was missed? I don't have anyone in Milford, but it happens that a non-subscribing fellow internet researcher is interested in Milford and I've been able to pass info on. Please folks, keep hitting the "reply all" button unless your communication is really "private". I don't want to miss anything that I didn't know I needed until I saw it posted. And if I don't want it - I'm really good with the delete key! Thanks.
