It's obvious you haven't read all of my posts on this topic. Again, you have NO personal knowledge of me so don't presume to know what I do & think. End of discussion.

I have read some of your discussions and from the ones that I have read I have agreed with you most of the time. It is just a problem with me last night, I was at the explosion point from the hurricane. I think that Gov Jindal has done an excellent job in handeling this disaster event and just wanted to take up for him. I didn't think this was the right time for him to be hit with a bunch of emails from the shalers when he had bigger fish to fry.

And I will respect your right to that opinion.

Thanks, the flow rates will come in time and maybe a lot of folks in North Louisiana will be rewarded.

The auto-response feature is a standard used by many public officials. It is a gesture of courtesy.

The Shreveport office computers were down today when I was there.

They also assumed it was because of the problems in Baton Rouge.

Then we will be patient & courteous and give it some time. Maybe Mr. Buckner will be willing to post if he hears anything further.

I know that we couldn't access any data.

Wouldn't SONRIS be more of a public service than something that we are entitled to. Aren't the file copies at the office the only "public records" per se.

I'm just thankful that I don't have to go to the office everytime I want to look something up.

I'm also thankful that I live up here now. I grew up down south and send heartfelt prayers to all that are affected by the damage.

As with many things, "public records" are now featured electronically. I don't know if it's required by law, but I'm sure it helps ease congestion in the offices where records are held and provides better services to the citizens wanting/needing the information. Also, the added service is paid for with tax dollars, so I'm sure there is some obligation to keep it current & available as much as possible. In times of emergency, however, the effected offices may be closed and therefore the electronic services would be, too.

I haven't made many trips to the Dept. of Conservation office, but the computers sure are easier on the back than the old indices at the clerk's office.

Oddly though, now that I am looking at the older stuff again, I get sentimental.

Strange isn't it.

Technology has made the term "delayed gratification" almost obsolete. But I agree whole-heartedly with your assessment of SONRIS. I've been able to explain to & help a lot of neighbors with its information.
