This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AhB.2ACEB/214.1 Message Board Post: As Administrator of the message board I can tell you that there are 'board people' and 'list people'. Those who like instant communication and dialogue tend to belong to lists. Those who want easily found (no Archives searching) posts and easily searched information tend to prefer boards. I'm a 'board person' and rarely use lists for my research. To each his own. Regards, Sharyn
