Hi All, It seems to me that porting message board messages to lists should be optional from both ends. The Board administrator should be able to port if they wish and the list should be able to accept if they wish. The list admin of a large list may not want every little comment made on boards. The list admin shouldn't have the right to capture every message off off boards and publish them on their lists unless the board admin agrees. Both admins should have the right to request this transfer and both should have the right to deny it. These two mediums in my opinion are good for different purposes. James R.
