I have kept my mouth shut and my typewriter keys silent during our recent 
unfortunate Jerry Springer Show-type goings on.

I too wanted everyone to return to genealogy. And hooray, we seem to be 
headed in that direction.

But now I wish to make a suggestion.  Could each emailer participating in a 
roll call please put your surnames in the subject line so those of us who are 
tracing certain families can do a quick delete of those that are not 
applicable? It sure saves time.

I'd hate to miss being able to help someone with valuable information.  I, as 
I am sure many people do, get 100 to 200 pieces of email per day that are 
genealogy-related. I don't open and read each one of them....I look for those 
names or geographic locations that will help me pare down the volume. I only 
open those letters.

Thanks to those of you who are including surnames in your subject line. And 
to those who aren't, I feel sure it was not unthinking, it just probably did 
not occur to you that it might facilitate your receiving answers.

Happy hunting!

G.
