"The late Twentieth and early Twenty-first Century discussions in this particular Virginia history group put the lie to the widely held perception that there was little education or learning in that era, and that people in that culture were barely literate. On the contrary, the scope of information exchanged is quite impressive, any serious Virginia historian should examine these archives, but my gosh, were those people crabby!"
