Comments? Questions? Abuse? Email me!
The UGA Karate Club features a members-only YahooGroups mailing list. Discussion is open and unmoderated, so pretty much anything goes; however, chain letters, spam, and abusive messages are prohibited.
List membership is open to current club members and to senior club members who have moved away but would still like to put their two cents in. This means that the group moderator (namely me) must approve all members.
As a general rule, new club members will not be added to the list until after midterm. This is because we tend to experience a high turnover rate of new students early in the semester.
Here's how to subscribe to the list:
1. Send an email directly to me at mdean@negia.net and mention that you'd like to join.
2. Include your full name (first and last) with the email so I can check it against the club roster.
3. I will add you to the list manually. You cannot auto-join by visiting the list's Yahoo site.
Note: If you are a new club member, wait until you've been with us for a few weeks before you ask to join the listserv.
The mailing list's Yahoo web page contains a membership list, a full archive of past messages, and a small gallery of pictures that have been removed from the main site. You must be a Yahoo member as well as a list member to gain full access to the site, however. (Buyer beware: if you join Yahoo, make sure you look at your marketing preferences. Go to My Groups, then to Account Information, then click on Set My Marketing Preferences. The rest should be self-explanatory.)
List volume is very low; it averages about eight messages a month. Hence, your mailbox will not be instantly flooded when you join.
