On the insert tab, all I see is Table, but I can't seem to find inserting images, editing hyperlinks, bullet points. Also, Firefox keeps asking me if I want to kill an unresponsive script, so wondering what that is... And what is the aGPL?

Cemeteries have endowment funds to ensure the land where people are buried will remain land where people are buried. Sites like this have nothing of the sort. I don't even see a business model. Without something to guarantee people's memor
