If that's the consensus view, I can easily delete the e-mail
group.

I just wanted to use the site as a central location to store &
trade information. Rootsweb doesn't seem to have the same
resources for users to upload and store pictures & other files
that Yahoogroups offers.

I don't know about you guys, but I have a hard time keeping track
of all the people I've encountered who are researching the same
line, so I was just trying to be helpful.

Ok, so maybe the group wasn't such a hot idea, just let me know
what you think.
