However, I can assure you that we didn't pick and choose any favorites--it works the same for all of us. I may be on the Message Board Administration Staff but I also lost some data boards I adminned. So there was no favoritism shown. I'll miss those boards--but I understand that this is a more efficient system when all factors are weighed. I hope you will come to appreciate that fact also in time. On the plus side, there are a lot more boards out there that could use some loving maintenance from an attentive admin such as yourself. So you may wish to consider that in the future. Thanks for all your assistance in the past with those data boards. Joan RootsWeb
Dear Joan, I think my initial anger is that this should have been explained to us before it was "done". It would have been easier to accept. This approach is totally insensitive to all of us (volunteers) who are dedicated to this effort. I truly feel like I have just had a door slammed in my face . . . and it hurts a bit. I will get over it, but doubt that I will forget it . . . and there will always be this feeling lurking in the back of my mind "what will they take away next?"
