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/1203.1.2.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: Judy- Although it is seldom used for a variety of reasons (not the least of which is the vast number of bounces it produces) there IS a database of all board admins, lists admins, and even list subscribers. It updates as admins and subscribers come and go and change addresses. It isn't something that is used often and another reason why not is that many ISPs would consider such a widely distributed mailing as spam. Joan
