All messages sent to the Russell message board are automatically sent to the Russell list. All one has to do is click on the link to the message board to get further information or follow the thread. Sometimes someone may be answering a message board post that was put there 2 to 5 years ago.. Also for anyone new to Lists and Message boards. Every letter sent to the list or put on the message board is sent to all 340 of you on the list. Also if you click reply to a message board post it never goes to the list, it only goes to the person who sent it. Hope this has solved some problems. If not write to me privately and I will try to explain more. Mary Harkey Russell [email protected] Listowner Russell-L & manager of Russell message board http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bird
