I am curious. I got Chris' reply email in my inbox today stamped at 1:11 pm, but I never received the initial email from Maia that was sent at 7:46 this morning. I have noticed this on other occassions as well. Is anyone else getting reply messages but not the initial message??? Can a mod please address this? Thanks,

To: "Maia McCormick" <[email protected]> Cc: "Caller's discussion list" <[email protected]> Date: Monday, July 28, 2014, 1:11 PM During the recent caller's survey, I think a database of dances was at the top of the list of what online resource callers wanted. There have been several attempts at creating a dance database over the past decade-plus. They have all fizzled out, primarily for lack of volunteers with sufficient drive, free time, and coding experience to create such a beast. (Data entry and getting permissions requires less technical skill, and can be farmed out amongst a larger committee.) -Chris Page San Diego On Mon, Jul 28, 2014 at 7:46 AM, Maia McCormick via Callers <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm currently in programming school casting about for programming projects, > and I had the idea of a giant searchable contradance database, where you can > filter by move combination, etc. > > My question: is this something people would be interested in having?
