As soon as I posted my entry, I noted another post had been put up a minute before mine. Apologies for the duplication. Here's the link to the orig. post: https://groups.google.com/g/peerage-news/c/6k1350zNB-A

better two posts than none.  :)

You do these so thoroughly that I try to wait until it seems that you are done for the day, and post only any which may have been missed.

Thanks and agree two posts better than none.

But please don't hold back posting until you've think I finished. I've no problem with others posting at the same time I'm working on things. My Plowden post took me about two hours to put together. In fact, today, I've spent the last seven hours on posts for this group! You never know when you sit down quite how long it will take that morning.

Generally speaking, I don't have to wait, because I think I'm behind you in time (Central time zone in USA), and my first obligation is to post the German as well as British events on the Nobiliana Forum. I did eight German deaths this morning as well as the Plowden and Dundas ones before I came to see what had been posted on Peerage News.
