Fellow Listers, Would like to pass along to those folks who do not subscribe

POST-EMs. Now you can attach a message to any of the more than

add a correction to an incorrect record. Check the records of
individuals of interest to you often. Someone recently might
have left a note there for you. To add a note to a record, do
a search and click on "Post-em" at the end of a record at:
