I am a little concerned about the current discussion on blanket
look-ups. I have frequently provided information to people looking for
"any ref to the name XXXXXX" and it is not a problem. People seem to be
complaining of providing the very service that we offer. Most of my
books I have offered to look up have an index and it only takes a few
moments. If there are just a few entries I will copy them out and send
them all. If there are too many I will simply say that there are many
entries for that name in that book and ask for more detail. If you
can't provide what the person is asking for, just tell them so. You are
all making me very nervous of asking anyone for anything!!
