Fellow Advisory Board Members, Below are all the feedback messages I got which were sent to my personal email address, except for one (a "no" vote) which the sender has not extended permission to forward to BOARD-L. (He may yet, I just haven't heard back from him.) I am also including one feedback message that was sent to USGenWeb-SE-L but not to the other lists. To limit duplication, I will refrain from forwarding any mail sent to USGenWeb-ALL-L or USGW-CC-L to the entire board, under the assumption that most of you will have seen those messages already. If anyone is not on one of those lists and would like to see the relevant messages that were sent to that list only, please let me know and I will forward them to your email address. ========================================================== Date: Sat, 18 Dec 1999 07:58:35 -0500 From: "Alice J. Gayley" <agayley@dgs.dgsys.com> To: Teri Pettit <pettit> Subject: USCG-CC-L Teri, Like you I believe that new volunteers should be aware of all tools and sources of information available to them. Thank you for making this motion. I certainly hope your fellow board members agree with you. Alice -- Alice J. Gayley Cooordinator, Clearfield County USGenWeb Project http://www.pa-roots.com/clearfield/ Co-Coordinator, Armstrong County USGenWeb Project http://www.pa-roots.com/armstrong/ Co-Coordinator, Jefferson County USGenWeb Project http://www.pa-roots.com/jefferson/ Pennsylvania in the Civil War http://www.pa-roots.com/PACW/ ========================================================== From: PipL7x3@aol.com Date: Sat, 18 Dec 1999 22:23:33 EST Subject: A yes vote for USGW-CC-L@usgennet.org To: pettit Terri: I am not very vocal about things and probably wouldn't have written you except for your statement that your email was running 4 to one against USGW-CC-L@usgennet.org. I'm not going to go into why I think it should be added to the USGenWeb information pages because you and others have done it better than I could say. I just felt I needed to let you know that some of the silent and quiet feel that it should be added. By the way, I'm a member of both lists.

While I am a strong supporter of RootsWeb, as you know, I also subscribe to USGW-CC (or did until I left for vacation on December 5th, and will be resubbing soon), and I fully agree with your reasons for making this motion.

To: USGenWeb-SE-L@rootsweb.com Hello Terry, I was also on the All-List in the 1998 mess, and I unsubed because of it. I have avoided list ever since. I do not see why there should be an objection to listing any of the list that might be of benefit to a GenWeb Member on the National pages. Just listing them does not mean anyone has to subscribe or not subscribe. But it does give us choices. I have also noticed that usually the same disruptive elements pop up on all the different list from time to time. Thanks for listing to my opinion. Lois Pittman Clay County, FlGenWeb Project Volunteer ========================================================== ========================================================== (In addition, Sandra Johnson <ladyd@dnaco.net> sent three messages only to USGenWeb-SE-L, but I am not enclosing them because I could not tell what her point was. She did not express any opinion with respect to whether or not USGW-CC-L should or should not be listed. She appeared hostile towards me, but not to the proposal, just perhaps skeptical that coming from a Board member it could be sincere??)
