ALERT -- New NBW email list on Yahoo Groups

March 27, 2008

Folks,

We've started a new email list on Yahoo Groups, due to poor quality of
service from this Topica list. If all works out, the Topica list will
go inactive, but will probably remain online as it contains the history
of past messages.

Check out our new page on Yahoo Groups, at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nbwclub/ .

This notice outlines the three ways you can subscribe. For email list
purist types that want minimal features, nothing to do with web sites,
and want to subscribe via simple email, choose method 2.

Otherwise, for those who want the most features, choose item 1, and
create a Yahoo profile. (You can choose any email address to which list
messages will be sent.) You could also send an email request as in item
2, but in the response message, be sure to click the link (rather than
reply to the email).

Last, if you want us (me or your incoming email list moderator, Ted
Shwartz) to formally invite you -- expect a delay for us to respond,
however -- then you could choose method 3. It doesn't really save you any
time or effort over the first two methods, though.

Choose one of the following ways to join the list:

1. From the above NBW page, click the "Join This Group!" link near the
upper right of the window. Follow the instructions given by Yahoo.
Create a Yahoo profile, to get the most features.

or

2. From your email address, send a blank message to:
nbwclub-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
Then, look for (and reply to) a confirmation message from Yahoo (they
do this to ensure your address is legit).

or

3. We can also invite you to the group: we fill out a Yahoo invitation
form to which you must reply (they do this to make sure you want to be
on the list, and that no one added you without your consent).

Once you're on, or maybe as you're getting on, look for and decide if
you want your messages delivered as Individual Email or as a Daily
Digest, or if you want to read your messages on the web page. Then, decide
and choose the message style of "Traditional" (plain text), or "Fully
Featured" (HTML).

Note: if you prefer "no e-mail and plain text", then you may be asked
to create a Yahoo ID. Otherwise, you may not be able to send messages
from the web site.

If you sign on via the web site, the setup process should then ask for
your preferences. If not, or if you later change your mind, then sign
on and click "edit membership". In the "Message Delivery" section,
choose between "Individual Email", "Daily Digest", "Web only", or
"Special Notices" (read via web mostly, but let the group moderator send you
important email notices). In the "Message Preference" section, choose
between "Traditional" (plain text) or "Fully Featured" (HTML).
