Pat, I have participated with Rootsweb on several county levels for several years.? My objective is to GET all the leads I can find, filter them out for relevance, delete those that are not pertinent and follow up those with some connection promise.? I can't imagine the effort to hit the delete key is so significant as to warrant restricting the flow of leads/clues that come from the multiple sources, including the message board.? I vote strongly for retaining the information flow.

When I took over this list, a few years ago, we had a discussion about keeping the message board connected with the list and most wanted to keep the connection so we did. Meanwhile, Rootsweb became Ancestry with less overview, hence, we are having problems with spam on the boards and on the lists. So, I think this is a good time to get some more opinions. Do you want to keep the board connection or not? Please write your opinion to the list. After a week, I'll see how feeling is on the list and let you know if we continue the connection or not. Remember, everyone is entitled to their opinion so if someone differs with you, it is okay and no need to get in flaming wars.
