Vic--this has nothing to do with people posting to other
lists--you have to read some of the previous messages to get
a better idea of what we're discussing here--it has to do
with RotsWeb giving the listowners the ability to tie in
other message boards from other parts of the RootsWeb system
and the possible confusion it's going to create.

Thanks

Dick McCoach

Dick..I am on a few lists and post to all. you never know if
someone else
is searching the same names. My grandad was born in Dublin
but he married
my Grandma from Roscommon. I have names from Lanark also.
I have many names. some I do not know where they came from
at this time.
Hence my posting to the other lists. Hope this helps you to understand
messages going to the Dublin list and other lists.
