[Oe List ...] Getting list help

[W. J.]

Loved it when Tim described our email as "complex and brittle."
Feeling that way myself, most of the time!

Subject: [Oe List ...] Getting list help

Quite by accident I saw Del Morrill's message saying she is having 
problems with the OE and Dialogue mailing lists. I'm giving her help 
getting her list membership the way she wants it. Meanwhile, here is 
a reminder to everyone:

The most effective way to get help is to email me or David Dunn 
directly, or at:

oe-owner at wedgeblade.net
dialogue-owner at wedgeblade.net

Please do not request help on the list itself for two reasons:

1. genuine list traffic is diluted by off-topic help requests
2. the administrators may not see your request

Every list email contains this footer (which might show as an 
attachment):

http://wedgeblade.net/mailman/listinfo/oe_wedgeblade.net
http://wedgeblade.net/mailman/listinfo/dialogue_wedgeblade.net

>From there you can get information,  manage your account, and find 
out who to contact for help. Even though you can manage your accounts 
yourselves, do not hesitate to ask the administrators for help, we 
are happy to give you a hand.

Also be aware that if your email stops working (list emails bounce 
back to the lists saying the email is not valid), the list software 
will eventually automatically disable your account. There are many 
reasons this might happen, most of which have nothing to do with the 
lists themselves, and may not even be the fault of your email 
provider (email transmission is complex and brittle.)

I hope everyone is well!

Grace and peace,

Tim Wegner
