In regards to this new project, I'm the one that mentioned it as an alternate site to store photos and because no one could get the life story on who runs it, some of you chose to tear it down, piece by piece. I've worked with several of the states that are out on their own with these tombstone photo projects and a more dedicated group of people I could never hope to find, bar none. They are not petty for one and don't pick everything they don't like to pieces, like they don't even know how to spell TXGenWeb, how uncharitable of you. You wonder where will the photos will wind up when someone no longer wants to pay for the site, I don't know, but where will the tombstones photos go when the powers that be at USGenWeb decide to move once and again? I am the Texas Tombstone Project manager and the way we do things here is far from perfect, let me tell you. So, go ahead and stay with any project you like but remember USGenWeb is not the only project, it is only one of many. - Linda Simpson People do not absorb moral lessons from those who trample on their feelings.

Linda, I am sorry if you took my statements as "tearing it down piece by piece". That was not my intention. My intention was to try and figure out if it was a reputable site and not some ruse that would end up selling the info that was submitted. To me, any site that is not willing to disclose who they are is suspicious. If I am ever shown that it is reputable, I will certainly endorse it. Until then, I will just continue as I have been. My apology if you took it in any other way.
