GatewayParrots@YahooGroups.com
This is a mailing list hosted by Yahoo! The mechanics of using it are simple. Send a normal email message to one address, and many people receive it. You can also go to the list's "home page" and review recent discussions or search past threads. There is also a discussion group with in this web site. The main difference being that the forum in this site does not send email to participants.
The URL for the Yahoo Group's web page is:
groups.yahoo.com/group/GatewayParrots/
You may join the group by requesting membership from the moderator. Do this by sending an email request to:
GatewayParrots-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
This will begin a process, detailed below, where you receive an approval from the moderator and then go to Yahoo to complete the registration. It is most convenient if the email address you send your subscription request from is the address you would like to receive messages from the group.
Etiquette
There are no hard and fast rules about how to use the list, though I'm sure you could find some fine print at Yahoo about appropriate use. This assumes we don't have to go into a discussion of offensive language, etc... Do keep in mind that the list is a one-to-many conversation. If a discussion begins in that general mode and evolves to a one-to-one dialog, it would be polite to continue the discussion outside the list.j
Having said there are no hard and fast rules, here are the official rules you will see when you sign up...
