I would love some clarification from Brent about the posting of commercial
messages.  Quite frankly, I've wondered about a couple that were recently
posted, BUT not about Yvonne & Steve's posts.  I have found that they
provide vital and useful information.  While I understand that they have a
commercial enterprise, their postings have been quite specific about free
information available on their site. . . . and the quality of their scans of
personal property tax records far exceeds the microfilm. I would hate to see
them discontinue this generous practice.

Brent . . . . please provide a little more guidance here.

Thanks much.

Jan
