Sorry, Mr Administrator, but I do not seem to have your address otherwise I would write you direct.... I am not entering into any pros or cons about the 'argument' but must just comment that I think it is always preferable to have replies to listings to be sent to the list and not to the poster. There are a lot of very good questions asked by our many listers to which I feel the replies add to our knowledge, even if we are 'lurking' as it were. I know I like to see answers to many of the questions and have picked up some very good tips from this method. If you want to intercept this message and keep it private feel free to do so Gordon Warrington FreeREG Lincs Co-ordinator see http://snipurl.com/Registers Heckington Genealogy see http://snipurl.com/Heckington

If you don't know the admin's address, Rootsweb use the same format for contacting him/her.

Do you prefer to see ALL replies posted to the list or are you happy with the present 'reply to poster' set-up? >If you want to intercept this message and keep it private feel free to do >so * The only times I can intercept messages is when they bounce to me due to the list or subscriber being in 'moderated' mode or they are from a non-subscriber (Spam) etc. Dave Jassie - List Administrator
