Hello Marsha: And that is why the members of a list must learn to **read** the whole message and they will know that in order to share their knowledge with members of a board they must respond to the Message Board URL posted with the corresponding post at the moment. This message is **very** important: Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list. If you would like to reply to them, please click on the Message Board URL link above and respond on the board. Because how listers are responding to boarders is sending their kind emails to: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com>. Which we all know is the address for the gatewayed list at the moment is: NYRENSSE. If listers would just respond to the ** Message Board URL ** there would not be confusion. Maybe a little too much instruction is the confusion? --Manaia ++++ --- On Sat, 7/5/08, Marsha Ensminger <marshaensminger@yahoo.com> wrote: > I'd say the most important problem with the gateway > system is #8.
