Hi Miriam et al... another 'fallout' from having a subgroup besides low
traffic volume is that our list Archives no longer reflect the complete
activities and thoughts of group.

  At first that may not seem like much of a penalty, but I see the 'bots'
(automated net crawlers) indexing our archives almost daily, so that
search engines respond to names, places and content of messages on this
list.

As Bruce pointed out a while ago, some very significant genealogical
results can surface from archival indexing.

Since the Reunion Group now has a working dynamic all it's own now, I
don't think you want to ask folks to give that up and return to the main
group.

That said, if the Reunion Group would c.c. the Cz-L list with their
posts: i.e. every Reunion post would appear on both lists.

This I think would solve the problem you articulated while keeping the
working dynamic of the Reunion group in tact. Of course this does
nothing for the folks who object to the Reunion traffic being on Cz-L in
the first place.

My two pfennig's worth,
