When I received notification of the TXBELL list, my reaction was "Great, now I don't have to check the board". I don't really like them much. I'd rather have the info show up in my e-mail, than have to find a bookmark for it, find the message, click on it and then read it. Even though I'm notified when a new query is added and the surnames are listed, not ALL of the surnames are always listed, so I have to check anyway. The index feature is nice, but since the list is archived with a search feature, I really don't see the point of the boards now that a list exists. I'm on other regional boards, some really large (NC for instance), and this would be the only one that doesn't allow queries. My Two Cents, Rich Grimes McAllen, Texas - The City of Palms
