Finger Lakes Runners Club FLRC Listserv

You need to be a subscriber in order to post! In particular, the listserver will reject posts from e-mail addresses it doesn't recognize. You need to use the same e-mail that you used when initially subscribing to the list. It's your e-mail address that matters at initial subscription time, not the yourname you supply when joining.

Listserv Etiquette

Below is a standard list of proper protocol when posting and replying to messages on a listserv. We ask that all FLRC listserv members honor this list. Anyone who violates the integrity of our list risks being permanently removed.

When sending messages to LISTSERV, please keep the following suggestions in mind. They will help keep the group user-friendly for everyone:

• Please include a subject line in each posting
• When replying to another message, try to refrain from quoting entire messages. Paraphrasing or quoting selectively are both kinder to people's eyes and e-mail boxes.
• Be extremely careful when replying to the author of a list message. The listserv mail systems will send your reply to the entire list if you simply use a reply command. If you really want to send to the entire list do so. Think before you post. Do I really want to say this to the world (list)? Remember that the list has over 200 (?) subcribers, none of them exactly like you. How will others interpret your post? Reread what you wrote. Did you really say what you intended to? Once a message is sent, it can not be retrieved.
• Flames: a "flame" is an emotionally charged posting, and is often directed at someone. The FLRC listserv will not tolerate flames. To signal humorous intent, use some sort of "smiley", such as :-). Facetiousness and sarcasm can be misunderstood easily in electronic communication.
• This list has its own character, just like any "real" grouping of people. The list functions best when people respect the character of the list. It is also good to respect the differences among list members and have a certain tolerance for our individual eccentricities.
• Stick to the topics intended for discussion on the listserv. Topics should be limited to Running or The Finger Lakes Runners Club organization.
• Don't send meaningless messages with no content, such as "I agree!"
• Identify yourself. This could be your first and last name and possibly your school or place of business.
• Attachments should NOT be sent to the listserv.

If we all follow the above guidelines we can continue to project a positive image for The Finger Lakes Runners Club and runners in general.

Thanks,

Lorrie
