Hi Mark:

Glad to see you're back.

I'm still listadmin and we have 156 people subscribed.

I've been finding that most of the surname lists that I'm on have been very
quiet (except for the Gallagher list). On the other hand, most of the
county lists have been fairly busy.

Looking forward to your submissions.

Sue
