"Reply All" |
Many people just
automatically use the "reply" button to respond to a
message. This causes the reply to go only to the poster of the
original message, depriving the rest of us of the exchange. Please
use "Reply All" unless you intend the message to be
private. |
| Subscribing |
To join you click as directed. This will
generate message in your default e-mail program. All that is
necessary is to "Send" the message. No magic words
required.
You will then exchange a couple of messages with a
robot. All you need to do is to hit your "Reply" and
"Send" buttons. The robot's writing style does not
make this very clear. The purpose of this exchange is to protect
your privacy, The second confirming and welcome message may take one
or two business days to arrive. |
| Introduce
yourself |
As soon as you
receive the confirmation of your subscription, you are requested to
introduce yourself to the list and include your contact information.
Otherwise the only information we will have for you is your e-mail
address.
It is polite to include your name on all messages you post to the
list |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a discussion list?
A discussion list (aka Listserv) is a way for groups of people to
communicate using e-mail. Once one is subscribed, it is strictly an
e-mail experience.
Any message sent by a subscriber to the discussion list is
automatically sent to all other members. Members can reply privately
to the sender or, preferably, to the entire list.
Who will get list messages?
Initially, the list will be open only to people who are Certified
Professional Guardians. Subscribers to the list may choose to open the
list to others like lawyers, and other allied professionals. A list of
subscribers will be made available upon request.
Are there privacy concerns?
Yes, this is the internet. Like any other e-mail, anyone who
receives it can do whatever they want with it. The rules of the list
are that messages are not supposed to be forwarded without permission
of the originator of the message. List members who flout the rules can
be removed from the list.
Who manages the list?
Tom O’Brien, tomob@proguard.org.
Is there virus protection?
There is no extra virus protection. The settings on your computer
to screen for viruses will apply to messages from the list just like any other email.
What etiquette applies?
Don’t get too personal.
Don’t make too many inside jokes that others won’t get.
Don’t say anything you would be embarrassed to have spread around.
Don’t send unsubscribe or other administrative requests to the list,
look at the footer of each message for how to do that.
Don’t forward message outside the list without permission of the
originator.
Don't violate confidences about clients or anyone else.
Do post questions and comments,
Do use "reply all" instead of "reply" (usually).
Do state your name on all posts to the list.
