Actually, Ann. Those admins, like I, sit on the list spam because most are held for our approval via a spam filter. But, the message boards are something else. One can post to a board and it will immediately be posted to the board and the list. Since it's address is from the board, it is automatically posted to the list and gets past the spam filter for the list. Some on the lists get really annoyed when they hit the list and I get nasty emails or nasty emails are posted to the lists. Personally, I just delete them and pay no more mind to them. But, I thought since recently the Rensselaer list decided they didn't want the message board any longer, I'd give the Albany list a choice, also. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
