Hi Folks, I've been watching the wonderful exchanges of information that have been posted recently. Thank you all for your attempts to help each other. After all, that's what this mail list is all about. :~) Unfortunately, some of the messages that you are attempting to send to each other are not reaching their target. If you watch carefully, you will see that many of the queries that are coming through to the mail list are actually messages that are being posted on the Barron Co. Message Board. These messages are being gatewayed to this mail list as a courtesy to you, in case someone comes along who has information to share or is seeking information that you have. The main thing to remember about this system is that not all people who post to the message board are subscribers to this mail list. So if you are only responding to the mail list, the person posting the query on the message board is not going to read what you've offered for help. EVERY gatewayed message coming to this list will start out with these words: This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZEC.2ACE/1201 Message Board Post: +++ PLEASE, when you see this, remember that you need to respond on the message board. It is very easy to do. Just click on the link within the message that you want to respond to, and it will take you directly to the message. Once there, click on the "Post Reply". When you do this, the person you are replying to will be notified that a response has been made. It's a great system and it does work! We just have to remember to follow these guidelines. Thank you again for all of the help you've been offering. You all are doing a wonderful job! -- Take Care, Nance (the snowbound listmom!) "I am only one, but I still am one.
