Listservs

Groups and Committees

 

Please read: Netiquette Guidelines

The most important expectations:

1. Reply privately when your message isn't of interest to the group: consider whether to send your reply to the mailing list or to the person who wrote the message. If you want to make a point that contributes to the group discussion, post your reply to the mailing list. If you want to criticize, ask a personal question, or ask something off the topic of the list, send your reply directly to the person who wrote the message.

2. Don't "flame:" "Flaming" means sending messages that are  belligerent, sarcastic, accusatory, or just plain mean.  Think: How would you speak in person?  Something about email communication can prompt otherwise polite, kind people into acting like TOTAL JERKS on mailing lists (see—that was a flame right there!). If you are tempted to send an angry message, take a break, reconsider your message. Ask yourself:

  • Do I know it is true?
  • Is it kind?
  • Is it necessary?

*The messages on the UUCE-managed mailing lists do not necessarily represent the views of the UUCE, UUA, UUA–affiliated organizations, or any UU congregation. Members of the UUCE staff, Board of Trustees, and Committees who participate on the email lists do so solely as private individuals, and should not be assumed to be participating in any official capacity unless otherwise stated.

 


What is an email list?

from the UUA website:

" The UUA [our national organization] sponsors over 300 different mailing lists and participation is free....An email mailing list, sometimes callled a "listserv" (though that's a trademarked name), is a group of people who exchange messages as a group via email.

On announcement lists, only one person can send messages and everyone else receives them, creating an email-based newsletter (the UUA-L list is of this type).

On discussion lists, any subscriber can send messages that are received by all the subscribers, creating an email-based conversation...

...email lists cost nothing to subscribe to. To subscribe, participate, and sign off, all you need is an Internet connection and an email address.
