    3. Please do complain on my behalf! Norma ----- Original Message ----- From: "TOM JONES" <JONESTOM@versar.com> To: <VAPITTSY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2000 12:56 PM Subject: [VAPITTSY-L] GenConnect gateway header > Dear Norma, > > The header information that I think you are referring to is created by the GenConnect gateway (we've gotten a number of those today). If a person posts a message to the Pittsylvania County GenConnect bulletin board, it automatically forwards to VAPITTSY-L. The header information, while taking up space, tells us quickly whether the message originated from GenConnect or from a subscriber to VAPITTSY-L. It also tells us the web address for the post, in order that we can find it there and post a response there if we so desire. The kind programmers at RootsWeb designed the gateway and they are the ones who placed the header where it is. I'm fairly certain that this header cannot be altered by me nor the administrator of the Pittsylvania GenConnect bulletin board. However, if you (or any other of us) feel strongly about it, I can file a complaint on your behalf. I must request that any future problems or complaints be addressed to me personally, and not to the mailing list ! > at large (that's what I'm here for).
