Accessing the Files

[Guest guest]

For all new members:

When a person first joins they receive several documents, including a

letter welcoming you. In this letter you will find some valuable

information. By reading it you are helping yourself AND us. For

you, you get the info in a timely fashion. For us, we don't have to

write the same basic information 30 times a week.

Here's what the welcoming letter states:

Take a look at our group homepage at:

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Withdrawal_and_Recovery/

Once there, you can take a look in the FILES section

(link is located in the left hand margin) and the LINKS section.

I know people are overwhelmed when they come here but it's worth

printing out the documents we send you upon joining. You'll use the

info in them repeatedly.

As far as the files go, I know they are not in the best shape.

It's a much more difficult project than I ever envisioned. There are

so many choices to make about how to organize all the information.

We are open to feedback from people on how you think the file

system would be more user-friendly. It's been an ongoing thorn in my

side because I'd like the files to be bursting with useful info

organized in a way that makes sense. Heck, 25% of the time, I can't

even find what I'm looking for!

So, bring on those ideas. Those of you who belong to the Social

list, please post your ideas there. This way maybe we can minimize

how many irrelevant emails W & R list members get.

For those who don't know about the Social list, it's an offshoot of

this list where off-topic discussions can take place. On the Social

list, anything goes except verbal assaults. Spirited discussions and

debates are welcomed and encouraged. Sometimes this is a warm, fuzzy

place to be while other times you'll know you're not in Kansas

anymore (check out the current topic over there, lol).
