Otherwise you wouldn't know for sure other than if you could get the poster to tell you the URL where they posted the message--and it isn't likely they'd remember. It is just likely in that it would seem very strange that posters would deliberately CHANGE the setting to no classification. The twilight zone boards were versions of old test boards that never had a classification to choose from. Or, if my memory serves me correctly, the Ancestry UK boards may not have classifications--perhaps the posts were posted there--are they International boards where this happened? Joan
