This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BF.2ADIAE/1204.2 Message Board Post: Peter, If I understand right, you want to know why a Gateway has to match in name? It is basically a policy that ONE board is gatewayed to a List of the same name. So 2 Boards can't feed into 1 combined list. If I read your concern correctly, it is not about your competency. If you requested / no one else was the Admin of a Board OR the List for that Board (or it didn't exist), then you could request a List of the same name as that board. Otherwise, what Joan wrote is true -- Admins don't have any other info to share, nor can we change anything about this. Hopefully I interpreted part of your question correctly. If I did and if both Lists are available for both Boards, why not request List Admin positions for both? Judy
