Listers seem angry about Board posts being gatewayed. So it appears to me that MORE education should go to both users, but also more attention to educating board users. Most Listers resent the "thank you," "new email," and no-content Board posts. Any ideas how Admins can better educate Board Users? I'm not a List Admin so I can only assist in educating there.
