Dear Friends

I enjoy watching the discussion and debate but must draw attention to the
vast number of emails this engenders. Indeed sometimes there are so many
that I am unable to read them all!

I fear we might alienate and exclude potential participants in this forum
by bombarding email in-boxes with discussions which may have marginal
interest to others. Perhaps we could blog on historical and genealogy
issues and email on others such as the 600 Anniv.

Another advantage of blogging is that visitors to the website would
immediately see it. The connection between the site and this forum is not
entirely obvious.

Kind regards
Peter Scholl
