Guest guest Posted November 14, 2002 Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 Maybe we should have one person who we all send our addresses to, and then after everyone sends theirs in, the person with the list sends one email with the address of everyone who wants to participate via private mail.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2002 Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 Hello everyone, You could create a section in the " Database " portion of this list which everyone who wants to participate could post their addresses. Alternatively you could create a second group (with restricted membership like this one) just for those people who want to participate... that way those who DON'T aren't given the addresses too. I have lots of other options too, so if these ones don't work out for those of you who want to do this, let me know and I'll post some more ideas for you.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 Hi Ruth, Is there a way we could do the database section without the addresses becoming public domain? That's the reason we wanted to do it privately, I think.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 Hi Carol, Unfortunately no. Unless the moderators made the group " restricted " which means they approve each member who joins. But even then, the addresses would be visible to everyone on the group, not just some. However if you used the database feature on a group called RA- Support-Xmas or something, then made access to that group " restricted " where the moderators would approve membership (and only if the member applying is also a member of this group) then yes, the database would not be public domain. This option would require one of two things. Either the two owners of this group set up the new one and did all the work of approving new members... or the owners of this group set up temporary moderators with no abilities (so that they can view the members list on this group to verify anyone joining the other). Hope that makes sense, I'm off to a breakfast date so have to dash!! Regards, Ruth > Hi Ruth, > > Is there a way we could do the database section without the addresses > becoming public domain?

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 Odd... my other message hasn't shown up, so I hope it *does* before this one, or this one won't make much sense lol. I just thought of another way that wouldn't have to involve the moderators of this group (no extra work for them). A group can be set up, as I said before, but it can be " closed " which means you can't even access the main page! Each member has to be invited individually. (I'm willing to do this for you guys) We can use the database feature here just to post your email address (which is used to invite members to groups) that way we don't flood the messages with requests to join... (Though if you don't know how to add an entry in the Database, or are a " mail-only " participant, I don't think the owners would mind a posted request or two). The other group would have everything turned off... including messages!! It's not intended for chit chat, just a secure location to exchange email addresses... I wouldn't want it to take away from this group in any way or be the cause of a " clique " or something. I do have to dash though, don't want to be late for my breakfast date, but let me know if this idea would work for those of you interested... If it's approved by the owners of this group I'll happily set it up for you and do the inviting (so no one else has to volunteer to do the " work " lol).

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 Hi Tess, I am with you, I would love to send cards for Christmas. Even b-days would be nice. It is nice to get fun mail instead of bills. Hope you are feeling better after your ordeal the other day.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 Carol. I think it would be wonderful if you could do this for us. Thank you so much for the offer. Anyone that wants to participate can send their address to you privately. Thanks Ruth for all of your great suggestions. We appreciate your input. As long as Carol can handle this, we won¹t need to set up any additional groups. a > Hi Ruth, > > I figured that might be the case.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 Glad to do it. If you want to send your birthdays (you don't have to add the year, LOL) that would be great, also. Just email me privately at carol@... with the information, and I'll put you on a list to receive all the names and addresses once I get them all in. Love to all, Carol Re: [ ] Re: Christmas Cards Carol. I think it would be wonderful if you could do this for us. Thank you so much for the offer.
