Since so many of us receive this email every week, does anyone see the need in me continuing to post these tidbits of history? I don't mind doing it, but if no one is interested because they already get the email, I don't want to waste anyone's time.

I think you should continue posting these as long as you feel like doing it. I've read every single one and the comments. Of course, I also get that email. I also like reading the comments here.
