I'd love to know what was mean spirited about a factual remark. And I used decorum -----Original Message----- From: Museum discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jason Dennison Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2006 1:11 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Closet Question and Member Disrespect To All List Members, Because of the dynamic nature of our field, we constantly have members joining the listserv and dropping off. May we please use more decorum when responding to questions from other members? Even if you have seen the question cycle through 5 or 6 times before, it is a real question for the person posting it, and they deserve the respect of the other "professionals" on the list. Please also remember to include your name and institution in your responses...be willing to own your comments.

Why would they need closets, they had few clothes -----Original Message----- From: Museum discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Laura Compagni-Sabella Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 7:42 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Closets and Tax Laws Dear List, Does anyone know the details regarding 19th century property tax laws and closets? I'm trying to substantiate the historic house tale that people did not build closets because they were taxed as rooms. If true, can anyone refer me to a source of the dates and details related to these laws? Thanks for any insight that you may have!
