Hello CLICK4HP list members! We now number 507 members on this list - a large number of people from around the world. As with all electronic mailing lists, either discussion or information focused, it is always useful to remind list participants of some tips to participating and 'listening' in this forum. So, as one of the three list-owners and facilitators of CLICK4HP, it seems timely to do some general list management suggestions. Recently there have been several messages that appear to have been intended to be sent to individuals, and have accidentally been distributed to the entire list. This accident happens very easily when you see that a message has come from a person that you know; and it is assumed that simply "Reply"ing to the message will reach that individual. It does NOT work that way on e-lists! This message for example, has come from me, Alison, and then gone to the List-Server at York University, where it is automatically distributed to all the members who are subscribed (some of whom have chosen to get their messages only once a day in Digest). On the header, it may appear to have directly from me - but if you were to 'reply' to this message, the actual address will be the list, and many people will receive an email message they may not want. *** Before Sending a message to an E-List, be sure to check the Address/To line *** Other useful tips: To change your subscription options or to get a list of all the non-concealed members of the Click4HP list - send an email message to the List-Server computer [a different address than the one used to post messages]. The email address is: [log in to unmask] Some useful commands [always leave the subject line blank and do not put anything in the message besides the command] SET CLICK4HP DIGEST [to receive only 1 message a day with all of the messages that might be posted in one day] SET CLICK4HP NO DIGEST [to receive messages as they come in] REVIEW CLICK4HP [to see a listing of all members of the list] SET CLICK4HP CONCEAL [to hide your name from the review list] SUBscribe CLICK4HP FirstName LastName [all you need is SUB for the subscribe command] UNSUBscribe CLICK4HP [name is not required] If your email address changes, you may have your list subscription forwarded to the new address but you would not be able to post to the list unless you resubscribe. If you are unable to unsubscribe because your address has changed - contact the list facilitators to request that this be done. To contact list-owners/facilitators either send an email to [log in to unmask] OR Alison Stirling - [log in to unmask] Liz Rykert - [log in to unmask] Sam Lanfranco - [log in to unmask] Keep those messages coming!
