Admin: Some reminders about posting to the group

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

We hope everyone is having a good day and hope your weekend goes

well. The reason for writing is to share some reminders about

posting to the group with everyone.

Pls, when replying to messages don't forget to cut out all

unessential info and only leave the parts that you are replying

to. Also, when replying pls don't reply to the whole digest

(which would look like this: Re: FSG Digest xxxx). If it is a

particular message you want to reply to pls change the subject

line to reflect what you are replying to. It would look

something like this: Re: Malic Acid (the group tag line is

automaticly put in to the subject line when we are posting an

original message or replying to someone else). This will also

make it easier for those on digest to find what they are looking

for. For new members if the reply shows that the whole digest

is being replied to in the subject line we will be sending it

back to you for editting.

Also, b/c of the list being large as well as busy if you see

that you haven't gotten a reply to your message in a couple days

pls repost the message. Sometimes it's easy for a message to

get lost in a group this size.

Also, when it comes to info that is shared that comes from

articles such as in a magazine or another website such as WebMD

for example just post the link to the article so that the others

can check it out. We are trying to protect ourselves from

copyright infringement by asking that only the links be posted.

Feel free to add the link sent to the groups bookmark section in

case our newbies ever want to check it out.

I know that sometimes some messages that we share with the group

may come from other groups that we are on but pls don't cross

post the message from the group where you first saw it unless

you get permission from the author of that message.

Also, b/c this list can get very busy if you find that the

volume is too much for you just change your setting to either

digest or no-mail. We have the Yahoo help file sent out every 2

weeks so when you get it in your inbox pls be sure to save that

so that you can refer to it when it comes to trying to change

your subscription. If you still have problems contact us at:

Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-owner

Pls contact us at the same address if you have other questions.

Also, if you know that you will be away for the holidays just

put your subscription on " No-Mail " and then change your settings

back when you come from your trip. It's easier than

unsubscribing.

Also, b/c we have 1062 members it is not possible for everyone

to post. For many they may not be feeling well so it's easier

for them to read. But to your lurkers feel free to post any

time you feel up to it. Doesn't matter if it's just to

introduce yourself or ask a question. We are glad to have you.

Have a good Friday and weekend.

Admin Staff
