Care and feeding of the email group

[Bob Hyman]

If you've found this page, then you can browse the messages online with no further ado.  However, to post replies or to send or receive the messages as emails, you'll have to sign up.  Enrollment is open to all, with approval of a club officer.

 

To enroll, point your browser to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/northwest-multihull-association.  You'll be prompted to sign into Google (or to register your email address the first time).  Click on the button labeled 'Apply to join group'. 

 

 A club officer will review your request within a day and you'll be in!   If the button is labeled 'My Membership' instead of 'Apply to join group', it means you are already enrolled in the email group.   Shameless plug: joining this email group is *not* the same as joining the Northwest Multihull Association.  Joining the club confers good fellowship and many additional benefits, all for the entirely reasonable annual dues of $60.

 

Once enrolled in the email list, you can choose to participate primarily by email or by browser.  Click on the 'My membership' button

 

  then select the available options:

 

Regardless of what you choose for *receiving* messages, you always can choose to *post* a message (or a cogent reply to a previous message) either by email or by posting online.

 

Address emails  to northwest-multi...@googlegroups.com .  You can include pictures, but embed them in the body of the email rather than attaching them as a separate file to make them easier to find.

 

When replying by email, most email programs will helpfully include a copy of the whole previous message beneath your reply.  But the email group already shows  the previous thread, so your copy would only clutter things up.  Please delete the extra text from your reply.

 

If you have any questions about how the group works, email me:  bob....@gmail.com.
