2. Getting on and off: guideline of the day

[Guest guest]

That's getting on and off LISTS and everything in between.

(A portion of the guidelines to the WTO groups are sent out each day because

alltogether they can be rather overwhelming. They are sent to all lists in

approximate order of what is important and are not making any comment on any

particular message on any one of the WTO groups. Please note our guidelines

have developed over the years by the group as a whole to meet situations that

come up again and again. Before you post, you must agree to try to read and

try to meet them. If you have any questions, comments, or feelings you wish

to voice about the guidelines, please write to at bear454us@...

or RandiBPD@.... Thank you!)

BORING TECHNICAL STUFF YOU MUST KNOW, AND YES, THAT MEANS YOU

On yahoogroups (formerly egroups), people take care of all their own

list-related maintenance: unsubbing, subbing, changing to digest, etc. Please

go to www., sign up using a password, and remember that password.

If someone else has access to your Internet account, please use a unique

password and DO NOT click on REMEMBER MY NAME. If you do, someone else can

send messages from your account.

Going to the unique URLs to the list you belong to/want to belong to (such as

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WelcomeToOz) allow you to do everything you

need to do, such as subscribe and unsubscribe. Please note that the software

does not permit attachments or forwards of mail.

The facilitators of the lists would love to help each person do this. Many

subscribers don't want to do technical things they are unfamiliar with. But

with 1,500-1700 people in this community, it's just impossible. A dozen

people subscribe or unsub every day. Yahoogroups is easy, and there is a

help button. If you have followed the directions and still have not been

successful, please forward your email and the responding email (if any) to

the facilitators and we will help. We reserve the right to not reply to

people who will not read the directions and will not try to follow them.

Changes make take minutes or hours to take effect. Sometimes Yahoogroups has

problems and posts are delayed. Please know that no one is holding up your

post. When Yahoogroups informs the list facilitators that there is a problem,

we pass it along. Yahoogroups is a free service and no money is exchanged to

or from Yahoogroups and these lists. So when there are problems, we just try

to grin and bear it for a few hours or a day or two.
