Posted on: McCarty & McCarthy Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/McCarty?read=168 Surname: McCarty, McCarthy ------------------------- This is a test to see if the new gateway is working. Any message posted to the GenConnect board at http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/McCarty will also be sent to the mailing list. This will greatly increase the exposure of the queries! Great idea, right? Sue McCarty-L listowner

I am not sure about that. There is already a way for those who want to receive the queries to subscribe to them. I am a County Coordinator and a list owner, and have many people who do NOT wish to receive every query that is posted to the query board, but to go there and search the queries for their specific individual once a month or so. For folks who subscribe to many lists and boards, this could overwhelm them and cause them to leave the mailing lists so they would not have to get all the queries that they don't want to read. The automatic delivery to the mail list eliminates the choice of the subscriber to get the queries or not to get them. Just my opinion. Jeanette Shouse
