I don't mind the change. But I do not know the townships in the area. I
suggest the front of EVERY new subject should have the Chapman county code.
So new posting would look like:
MGY: My HUMPHRIES interest in Meifod
and a reply would look like:

Dear Mike,
Thank you for your suggestion, which I'm copying to the Powys List, where
most of the discussion is taking place.
I agree that if their posting is county specific, it would be helpful if
listers included the abbreviated county name in the subject line of their
message.
What we don't want to do, however, is to discourage people from reading
through messages, which at first sight may not seem to be relevant to their
research
As a more general obeservation, I've noticed that on all nine of the Welsh
interest mailing lists to which I am subscribed, some listers fail to give
much thought to their choice of what to enter in the subject line.
Kind regards,
John
