What county and state is this crap going on in?   What would those 4
abstractors do if someone else just sat down and starting to use "their"
stations while they were not at them?
Sounds like that register is hell bent on destroying a major part of the
land record system that the public paid to establish by paying fees and
taxes for the keeping of the records.  What do the state laws say about
destruction of records.  Perhaps a new law needs to be passed.
I do feel that if the records are placed online, everyone should have
the chance to use them,  not just a select few that somebody selects.
