I have found that you need to click on the original board URL in the list post and that will take you to the original rootsweb board posting and if you answer there it will go to both the board and the list. The gc-gateway appears to be a one way door from the board to the list but not back. The board people never see responses send only through the list. When they reconfigured the lists a while back, they made it so you do not see the posting person's e-mail address on stuff coming from the boards. If you just hit reply to a gc-gateway, you end up only answering the list and often the original poster never sees the response. I do not like the new configuration at all. I do not know who is posting and you cannot simply reply directly to the person anymore. This is supposed to work better for stopping people from phishing and collecting e-mail addresses. You have to be on both the list and the board to get the big picture. It is hindering my research and my responses too. Too bad!
