Subject: [BARRINGER] a word on gatewayed messages

Hi all. Just wanted to remind everyone about those "gatewayed" messages that
come to the lists. Those message boards are posts on the message boards at
ancestry.com. If you wish to reply to a post, you need to click the link that
takes you to the message and reply on the board, not the list. The reason for
this is that all messages posted to the board are automatically sent to the
list, but it doesn't work both ways. If you reply to a post on the list rather
than the board, the person on the message board will not see your response
unless they also happen to subscribe to the lists. I've seen a couple of
people lately reply to the list rather than the boards, so just wanted to
remind everyone of that. I know sometimes it doesn't work the greatest to have
the message board posts gatewayed to the list because sometimes someone will
reply to a message on the boards that is old, so we don't see the original
message. If that happens and it's something that interests you, just click on
the link to the message and you can see in the headers to the board's post "In
reply to [linked title] by so and so. and just click on that linked title to
see the original message. Ok, that's all from me right now. Good luck
everyone!
