New Message Board for Newsletter Readers
I have created a new message board for the readers of this newsletter. It provides a place for you to post online messages relating to the articles published this newsletter plus whatever topics you wish to discuss. The new message board has four sections:

  1. Articles From The Newsletter – This is a place where you may post questions, offer comments, or dispute the information presented in the newsletter articles. Each article will have a separate "message thread." You may read messages there and post your own comments about these articles for everyone to read. I’d love to see this section grow to become an active forum for all newsletter readers.
  2. Subscription Issues – Questions about receiving the newsletter, where to read it online, availability of online archives, etc.
  3. This Message Board – Discussions, questions, and suggestions about how to use the message board.
  4. Miscellaneous – Well, you always have to have a "miscellaneous" or "all others" section, so I created one. Use it for messages that don’t seem to fit into the above three categories.

I may add new message sections in the future if usage warrants.

I would like to encourage all readers of this newsletter to join in the message board. If you have any questions or comments about the articles posted in this newsletter, I would suggest that you post them on this new message board. Yes, feel free to disagree with me if you so choose. It is an open message board; everyone is welcome. I will be answering many of the messages there, and I suspect that others will add their insights, too. The discussions should benefit everyone.

The message board is open to everyone. You may read all the messages without registering. However, to post replies or new messages you will need to complete a short sign-up form. You will be asked for your name and e-mail address. In order to protect your privacy, e-mail addresses are never displayed in the messages you write and are not visible to anyone else on the message board.

When posting messages on this board, you can specify to have copies of any possible replies sent to you in e-mail. That way you do not have to keep checking online for possible replies, just read your e-mail.

Warning: This is a brand-new message board, so there’s not much available yet. Keep checking back occasionally to see what’s new.

To read the messages on the new message board or to post new messages, go to www.RootsForum.com and click on "Message Board."
