Paul, since you didn't leave any of the message, I may be wrong in what I think you may be talking about. Check the attached messages, if this is what you mean then... Here goes briefly, this message list is now connected with the Missouri Cemeteries queries at rootsweb. When someone posts a query there or answers it, we also get it on the MO[CEM] message list. http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=an&p=topics.cemetery.us.mo When someone answers on the message list without going to the actual query to answer from the site, the person who posted the query, if they are not a member of the message list will never see the help they received from the message list. Those of us on the message list if we want to help the people who posted the query will click on the link that accompanies the query and answer from the site, not the message list. I've been registered with both the rootsweb and ancestry message boards for so long, I don't remember what is involved. It was nothing major or I wouldn't have done it. I was even less computer literate then than I am now, and I'm still not very knowledgeable about computers. Orlena I guess I'm computer illerate, I haven't the foggest idea what you're all talking about.

Maybe, because I use both places. When the message comes from the site, I go there to answer it. There are advantages to answering from the site. I was disappointed when I first realized they weren't connected. I was used to the KS[CEM] and others that were connected. This way I see what comes in without having to go to the site to check them. When I want to answer and it comes from the site, I click the link and I'm there. I answer and the persons sees it as well as the List. It's easy to tell the list and site queries apart. I'm happy to have them both together.

I suspect that it would be better to keep these discussion boards separate and disallow these gatewayed posts.
