You are exactly right, I had thought I was replying back to the list, I didn't check the reply to address, Thank you so much Cami, Becky Cami McCraw wrote: Becky ~ Please put what you put here on the list. I loved hearing from you, but apparently he is "polling everyone" (??) so would you mind posting this to the Bell County List? Actually you may have thought you were & it just came to me pesonally instead. Thanks!!

I have noticed you are revamping the Query Board for Bell County which is great, but that should sometimes be a duplicate of what we do here at the list; on the other hand you will have some people who use the query boards that do not want to ever subscribe to a mail list that comes directly to their mailbox. So, no need to worry about a complete duplication there. One of the positive points of Rootsweb is that it does come to your mailbox. And, often times we join the regional Rootsweb Lists in conjunction with surname lists, or when we have struck out there! I think the other suggestions that came in today are great, too, but I do think it needs to include surname querys & responses. I know personally if the responses are always sent to a board that I will have to go to, then I won't be here long -- too much trouble to always have to go through two steps. ~ Cami ~ Bill Bost wrote: For All Subscribers: It's occurred to me, as the TXBELL Listowner, that one of the things I've NOT yet done (since there are 17 of you already!) is ask YOU folks what sort of "tone" you think the list ought to take..
