-----------------------
To
Change Your List Address : Add your new address to your
Yahoo ID. *KEEP* your OLD address in place until
you're sure the change is complete (and successful).
After your new address has been attached to your Yahoo
ID, you will be able to go to "My Groups" Check your
lists. You should have a drop down box to switch to
the new address. When you are receiving messages at
your new address, you can delete the old address.
There is no rush. You'll only receive messages at one
address.
If you do not have a Yahoo ID, set one up using your old address. Then follow the steps above.
-----------------------
Avoid Duplicate Messages: When you send messages to the listserv please check to be sure you have only one name in the "Send To and/or the Copy" field unless you're wanting to send the message to someone not getting CC listserv mail. This will avoid the problem of people getting duplicates of your message.
Vacations: When you will be away for a duration of time please change your settings to "No Mail" at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CarvingConsortium/join It is acceptable to remain subscribed when you are away if you are sure your server can adequately handle the quantity of messages you will receive in your absense. You may choose to communicate with your access provider about this. Do not post messages to the list telling everyone that you will be away. It is considerate to send an email to Linda telling her how long you won't be sending or receiving your mail, so if a problem comes up she'll have some idea what's happening.
If you're having difficulty with any of this please send Linda an e-mail and she may be able to assist
Out of courtesy, if you're unsubscribing and don't plan to be back, please send Debbie and e-mail and explain why, just truthfully and honestly. As a courtesty, I'd just like some feedback on why members unsubscribe.
