Happy New Year everyone! As we begin a new year I thought this would be a
good time to go over a few things for the list.
If you are not sure what lists you are subscribed to, then go to Password
Central
http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ and fill out the applicable
boxes for the information that you need.
When requesting information about which lists you are subscribed to, you
will quickly receive a reply naming all those lists, the address used to
post to the lists, and instructions as to how to unsubscribe from them.
Remember when sending messages, if they are sent to the -request address
they are not being posted to the list. They will only come here to me.
Addresses that contain the word "request" are only used for subscribing and
unsubscribing.
Also many times you will see a post from the message boards that is
"gatewayed" to many of the lists. A good portion of those who post to the
message boards do not subscribe to the lists. So if you reply via the list
regarding a board post, chances are good that the person you are trying to
respond to will not see your response. It is best to go to the board and
post your response there.
If by chance the person that posted does happen to also subscribe to the
list, they will still see your response.
If you wish to unsubscribe and are having problems, please do not send a
rude message to the list. It will get you unsubscribed, manually by me, but
also blocked from subscribing in the future. This is one instance when going
to Password Central is very helpful, and will save both you and me some
concern.
Or send me a note and ask for help, I don't mind a bit, and gladly will
help anyone that needs it. I realize things can be confusing at times.
Also, please know that although you don't always see me, I am here and
watching over you. If an issue arises on the list, I will take care of it
one-on-one in private with that individual or indivuals.
