Folks, this is a reminder that any post to a list that starts with the phrase "This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list." has been "gatewayed" from the surname Board to the surname List. Simply, this means that the original post was sent, in this case, to the ROPER Board and, because the "gateway" between the Board and List has been opened, was also automatically re-sent to the ROPER List. BUT, this means that unless the the original Board poster is also a member of the List, any replies to a gatewayed post sent to the List will NOT be seen by the Board poster. If you wish to reply to a gatewayed post in such a way that your reply will be seen by the Board poster, you must do so by clicking on the "Message Board URL:" link. Of course, it would also be appreciated if you copied your reply to the List as well. Thanks. Peter ROPER List Admin.
