Mailing List Info

Once again, the Billerica Amateur Radio Society's mailing list "reflector"
has moved.  I hope that this new home will be available for a long, long
time. The mailing list address should be easy to remember.

To send an e-mail to everyone on the mailing list, send your message to:

    bars@hamoperators.com

Within seconds, your message will be relayed to everyone who has subscribed
to the list.

While this list is designed primarily for members of the Billerica Amateur
Radio Society, such membership is not required. Anyone may subscribe by
visiting the BARS Mailing List page at:
http://www.hamoperators.com/mailman/listinfo/bars_hamoperators.com

I copied the list of e-mail addresses from the old list to this new one.
The fact that you are reading this message indicates that you already are
subscribed to this mailing list. You do not need to take any further action
to receive or to send messages. You may, however, change your e-mail

"digest mode" is available for those who wish to receive a maximum of one
e-mail per day from the mailing list.

Membership to the mailing list is not automatic even if you are a BARS
member. Any future BARS members who would like to join the mailing list
must sign up at the same Web page:

When you receive a message and wish to reply, clicking on REPLY alone will
send a message only to the one individual who wrote the first message. If
you would also like to send a reply comment to everyone on the mailing
list, you must add a cc: or bcc: to bars@hamoperators.com.

The BARS Home Page is available at: http://www.hamoperators.com/bars

I think the new mailing list is configured in the same manner as the
previous list. If you see anything amiss, please let me know.

Any questions? And how do you like the domain name of hamoperators.com?
