Exactly why I don't like the Message Boards also showing up on
the lists. I
seem to be in the minority.

Barbara, many good connections have been made for people due to the gatewayed
messages to the lists. I have all my lists that I manage gatewayed with the
corresponding boards. There will always be some posts come through on a list
that make no sense but then that can also happen with a list subscriber
replying to a post on the list that was actually made more than a month and
sometimes longer ago. I hate those too but then those folks will never make a
connection if they don't post at all. At least there is some activity on an
otherwise very quiet list. I see very few list subscribers post on this list
and Angela (List Admin.) and I (Board Admin.) agreed to put the two together
for the benefit of all. There is always the delete button if you don't want
to read something........Happy New Year & I hope that you make a cousin
connection!
Pros & cons are not the topic of this list though and I am sure Angela would
prefer that you voice your opinion to her off list rather than commenting
about it on the list which is really off-topic anyway.
