[wplug] [wplug-announce] WPLUG's mailing lists

[Vance Kochenderfer]

If you're getting this message, you're subscribed to at least one
WPLUG mailing list, but there are several others which you may not
know about.  This is an introduction to them and the purpose of each
one.  Except as noted below, you can subscribe to as many as you like.

Just follow a link to subscribe to those you are interested in.  The
web interface also lets you set a number of options - for example, you
can choose to receive a high-traffic list as a daily digest so you get
the discussion bundled as only one message per day.

We can always use volunteer moderators to clear spam out of the queue
and approve legitimate messages.  Speak up in wplug-internet if you
would like to help.


ANNOUNCEMENT LISTS: these are not used for discussion.

wplug-announce - Announcements of WPLUG events and occasionally others
  of interest.  Receives 1-3 messages per month.  This is the list you
  want to subscribe to if you'd like to keep track of what WPLUG's
  doing but only want to get the minimum number of messages.

wplug-members - Official communications to the WPLUG membership.  You
  do not subscribe or unsubscribe to this list; members are added

  a member).  Archives of this list may be viewed by all at
  <http://www.wplug.org/pipermail/wplug-members/>.


WPLUG DISCUSSION LISTS: these are separated out by topic.

wplug - The main discussion list for technical subjects.  This is
  where the major action is.  All messages to wplug-announce are
  cross-posted here, so there's no need to subscribe to both.  Traffic
  varies from 30 to 500+ messages per month; average is about 200.
