Good afternoon all First I want to thank everyone who took the time to vote. Isn't it great that we live in a country where we can. Here is the vote of 485 subscribers (as of this morning) 56 people voted. The results are as follows 25 Get rid of the gateway 29 Keep the gateway 2 did not express an opinion either way. It was a close vote but as I said the majority would rule when I started this. So the gateway will stay. One of the suggestion for those that do not like the gateway were to filter them to a folder in your inbox. I know with my email program I have my mail sorted to about 11 different folders. I had several say they had gotten some good leads from some of these gateway messages. While other feel they are a waste of time and don't contain anything. So as you see not every one is going to be happy with this decision. But I did say we would go with the majority. I hope no one will unsubscribe because of this as you could provide valuable information to others researching in the area. I also understand many are not happy with the new message system at rootswebs, myself included. That was why when they made the change I requested a new set of message boards be set up at Pa Roots. A couple of the boards had already been already set up. You can access them from the main page of the Bucks County PaGenWeb page at http://www.rootsweb.com/~pabucks/ Thanks Judy PABUCKS mailing list manager and Bucks CO PaGenWeb site coordinator ===== Bucks Co.
