I don't think anyone can >reside in more than one county at a time. I totally disagree with that theory...... I have not yet heard ONE Shawano visitor even remotely comment that a Shawano resident would be better able to keep up and run the site. And I probably have the market on distance from my county. I have great volunteers and take every opportunity I can to locate maps, obits, etc. to make the site of interest. I have a neighbouring county that is one of the largest WI sites and she's not a resident either... living in your county doesn't mean diddly squat.... if that was criteria, I'd have not qualified, either.... and I'd challenge any of the CC's to explain to me how their site is better than mine, simply because they live there.... And, how far up the food chain does this theory go? Does an ASC or SC from the state make a better ASC or SC than a non-resident? Just my thoughts.....
