To the War of 1812 list: In response to the comment that the "WARof1812" wastes space in the subject box: The emails just have the email address of the sender and the subject. The email to which I am responding came from JRay38@neo.rr.co. Suppose the writer wants information on "Private Jack Smith of the 21st Maryland Militia," but writes just "Jack Smith" in the subject box, how is the reader to know that the email has anything to do with the War of 1812? Such an inquiry looks like spam. I personally do not have the time to read most spam. I really have no interest in getting a degree from a nonaccredited university, among other things. I doubt that many subscribers to the War of 1812 list have such a desire. One has to just get rid of them. I know that the "WARof1812" wastes space in the subject box, but given the huge amount of spam, it seems to be required. Bill Volonte
