(4) specialties of the shop - such as civil war prints, 1930's reproductions, etc, may be included
Now I'm confused as to how to make #3 and #4 compatible
I think, almost by definition, that a list of this sort will always be incomplete.

I don't understand your confusion between 3 and 4. Three is judgemental and four is any specialty offered.

Members,
I simply offered to make a list of CURRENTLY exisiting quilt shops, for free, kept updated, and asked for your help to create this list by sending me the local info on the places you shop.
It seems my request is creating quite a bit of unintended controversy and a simple request is turning into a debate.
Please continue to send me posts as outlined in my original message and keep this thread simple, so I don't regret making the offer. There has been more posts debating this list than there has been requested information.
Thank you kindly for your consideration.
Diane

I was thinking in terms of expressions like
GREAT selection of civil war prints!!!! :D :D :D (which is - in a way - judgemental)
as compared to
Approximately 10 feet of shelving devoted to civil war prints - mostly by (manufacturer name) - (and this is boring but probably not judgemental)

I would change it to: Civil War prints
I intend to have a column in the spreadsheet for SPECIALTY/SERVICES, and will keep it short and sweet.
Thanks,

You can share the documents with others or make it public. You can control who has access to changes too.
It is a very easy way to share info with others without creating a web page, and it gives me a way to back up or store files that I wouldn't want to lose on my hard drive.
