Hi Folks, It is good to see the activity on the Eau Claire Co. mail list again. A large part of this activity is a result of the new Eau Claire Co. message board, where people are posting queries. I am sending this note to you, the subscribers of this mail list [WIEAUCLA] as a reminder, and also a guide to how to identify certain posts, and how to respond to them accordingly. PLEASE REMEMBER -- THE EAU CLAIRE CO. MESSAGE BOARD IS GATEWAYED TO THIS MAIL LIST -- If a query has been posted on the message board, it will appear on this mail list because of this gateway. These messages are easy to identify as they all begin with these lines (see actual example below): >This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. >Surnames: Matchette, Clark >Classification: Query >Message Board URL: >http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hFC.2ACI/361.360 >Message Board Post: >I have a Albert L. Matchette married to Mary CLark,................ ------------------------- PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THE MAIL LIST IF YOU HAVE INFORMATION TO SHARE ON THESE QUERIES!!! Not all people who post queries on the message board are on this mail list!!! If you post your response to the mail list, the person with the question will never see it. So instead of posting to the mail list, please take the time to click on the link that says "Message Board URL". It will take you to the query that you want to respond to. Once there, click on the "Post Reply" link within the box that the original query is in and a form will open for you to write your response to the person that is asking the question. Please try to follow this procedure, as I am unable to transfer messages for you, and if not posted in the proper place, your helpful response will be lost without ever having been seen by the appropriate person. It is my hope that this reminder will help us all to be more effective in our pursuit of helping others to break through their brick walls. Take care and thanks! -- Nance (list manager and board administrator) mailto:nsampson@spacestar.net
