taglines in every mail from query board??? I haven't seen any in mine at all. Like I said, any mailing list that was not grandfathered (created before the clusters/merger) automatically have the taglines. go to your mailing list utilities and check customize and see if there is button to unclick for commercial taglines. And as for "check her for latest in CDs from Ancestry.com" - if it is in 3 line tagline - nothing you can do unless you are list admin and go to your mailing list utilities to check and see if the button is there or not. And secondly, all surname boards are automatically gatewayed unless requested otherwise, or place gc-gateway@rootsweb.com on reject list. You will see the difference.

Well, they are there in ours and I didn't put them there. In fact, when I go to the Taglines page of the list admin page I find that there are no taglines entered at all. As for the grandparentage, I was the admin for this list before the recent merger and it seems like some things must have been done without my intervention. > go to your mailing list utilities and check customize and see > if there is button to unclick for commercial taglines.

No, these were not three line tags, but rather separate emails from our "sponsor" touting the latest in purchasable material. I do not mind these myself, but others seem to be taking exception to these unsolicited importunings. > And secondly, all surname boards are automatically gatewayed > unless requested otherwise, or place gc-gateway@rootsweb.com on > reject list. You will see the difference. Automatic gatewaying is what we want. Automatic additon to some potential customer list is not. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | The Ahern Family Genealogy Website Acton, Massachusetts | http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~aherns/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
