Some Helpful Hints to New Users of Mailing Lists
The following suggestions will hopefully assist new users to increase your
satisfaction with the mailing list and to avoid some common pitfalls.
IMPORTANT: Note the two addresses
There are actually two addresses associated with this mailing list:
majordomo@listbox.com, which is an administrative address, and
guru@listbox.com, which is the mailing list address to post messages.
The administrative address is used rarely - only to subscribe, unsubscribe,
and perform other operations on the mailing list which most people will never
use. Nevertheless, it is not an uncommon error for people to send SUBSCRIBE
or UNSUBSCRIBE messages to the actual mailing list, which will provide the
benefit of letting all the subscribers know what you want to do(!), but does
not result in any action.
Decide to Respond to One Address or the Entire List
Discussion and responses are the essence of a good mailing list. Sometimes
questions are posted, and others will provide responses that are very
valuable to all members of the mailing list. Most e-mail programs have a
way for you to automatically respond to whatever address is sending you the
e-mail message, which in this case will be the mailing list address. Therefore,
your responses will also be broadcast to everyone on the list.
Keep this in mind when you respond. One-liners like "Yeah, that's a great
idea" or "Hey, how bad WAS that flooding where you live?" are probably more
appropriately directed to the individual sender (whose address is usually
in the top of the message) than to the entire list of dozens or hundreds of
subscribers.
