Guidelines for the Grouplist

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone!!

We, the CHERAB listserve moderators would like to say how excited we

are that we have such incredible people, parents and professionals

alike, willing to educate and support one another 24/7. Our online

group here, which is made up of all of us from all over the world, is

WONDERFUL!! Many of us have met through this group and have become

friends both " e " friends and real life friends, for this reason, we

are sending out the following message.

Because CHERAB believes everyone has a voice: we want to be sure you

are all heard. Our list is growing on a daily basis, and the e-mails

are increasing over time. We are all doing a great job in helping and

supporting and providing information to each other - here is just a

tip to keep things running smoothly.

We would like to suggest that messages that are meant for " only " the

person you are sending it to, be sent privately instead. Most of you

do not see these messages since we take the time to pass them on to

the person they are meant for, but this is getting to be timely as our

list continues to grow.

Here is an example of such a message (names made up of course)

" Patty, I'll meet you tomorrow at the park at 2:00! Bonnie "

If the message is something you feel would help others as well, or you

have a question in the midst of the message, please continue to send

that type of message to our " group " .

Here is an example of such a message which is tweaked from above

(names and location made up of course)

Patty, I'm from Roselle Park NJ, and I think it will be great if we

can meet at the park tomorrow, and perhaps other may want to join us

as well! If you or anyone else from the area is interested email me

back privately at Bonnie@... if you want to meet at the Echo

Lake Park in the playground area at 2:00 tomorrow, June 7th and

we can exchange phone numbers and details! Bonnie "

To respond privately: click on reply, then copy the person's email and

replace the list address and paste in the personal email address you

just copied. As always, if you get the message in digest you may want

to also delete off the other 20 or so messages and only leave the one

you are replying to in private -and change the subject if it says

Digest __ to what the subject is. If you are sending out your email

address to the group and want those that only read messages from the

web to be able to have your email address too (for security reasons

online only the first half of the email shows.) -here is a trick:

Write your email address both ways like this Bonnie@...

or Bonnie at ie.com.

Thank you all again - you are making this world a place where Children

are seen...AND heard!!!
