HI to everyone that has the Barrs message board in there Alerts, and to all the subscribers of the Barrs mailing list. I'm Russell Livingston (Russ) the new Admin for both, List & Board. To try and get more interest, I have had the Gateway turned on. Now whenever someone posts to the message board it will also go to the mailing list. So if you subscribe to the Barrs mailing list and also have the alerts enabled for the Barrs message board you will get two messages. You can turn off your alerts for the Barrs board and will now get everything, message board posts and mailing list posts in you list emails. A post from the message board will say "This Message Board Post is gatewayed to this mailing list." And you will see the address as (gc-gateway (at) rootsweb.com). So if you want to reply to that poster you will need to go to the message board. That link is right there above the message. If some of you list subscribers have strong feelings about this, please let know. My email address is located in the board info area, or from the mailing list just click on the Board Admin link. If the feelings are negitive, I ask that you please give it a little time and we will see how it works out. For now I'm going to moderate the message board posts. I will be notified whenever a board post comes in and will read it before I let it post to the mailing list. My line is the Barr surname, (mothers side), but I do subscribe to both Barrs lists as well. I call for a Roll Call. If you have anyother Q&A's please let me know.
Good searching. Russ
