Bonnie,

Don't worry about getting these new requests out at lightning
speed, at least not on my account. Genealogy is supposed to be
something we do because we enjoy it, and, I know myself, it's
easy to become overwhelmed--and that takes the fun out of it.
"Whenever" is just fine. Thanks for your efforts on the part of
all of us!
