Constance, I think the gatewayed messages are included when there are few regular Mecklenburg Co messages. All of the lists have been suffering since Sep 11. I am on several, and there are very few messages and lots of gatewayed messages on them all. I have actually found a litte data on some of these gatewayed messages, but I agree that they are seeming to "take over" the lists -- not just Mecklenburg. I wonder if the gatewayed messages are fillers due to lack of participation from our list members. I don't think there would be as many (or any) if we had messages and queries from the list. I may be wrong, but this is the way it looks to me. chp on 10/3/01 4:01 PM, NCMECKLE-D-request@rootsweb.com at NCMECKLE-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > Hello fellow list members, > I have decided that these gatewayed messages are just overwhelming me.
